Persian Green Relief Institute
I'm still learning how to read formal Farsi, and websites are making that much easier. I was searching for any NGO opportunities in Iran for myself in the future when I plan to visit.
If anyone has the inkling of an interest in going there and contributing their skills to being a humanitarian in Iran the greatest opportunities are found through civil organizations that help build the foundations of a healthier society.
In my search, I actually found an exciting group that I never knew existed! (sad, but true)
The Persian Green Relief Institute
Because their concentration is on Disabled citizens of society as well as HIV/AIDS infected members of society this particular NGO caught my eye. Iran definitely needs to start planning for those infected with HIV/AIDS and those in danger of being infected...I believe the country has only one sequencing PCR Machine in Tehran for mass DNA replication and for research of AIDS/HIV and that's unfortunate.
Perhaps University of Tehran can fix that someday...which I've heard is happening. :)
