Volunteers from other countries join Calcutta Rescue for a limited period of at least 3 months and make a valuable contribution to the organization by contributing their experience, know-how and new technical achievements from other countries to the existing team. There are always vacancies for qualified nursing staff, pharmacists, administrative specialists, educators and physiotherapists.
