This training will take place in a rural setting as part of a diverse pioneering team, and will prepare you for longer term service.
Central Asia
Agriculturalist
In Central Asia, village families barely make enough to feed themselves through the winter. Years of poor agricultural practices mean the soil quality is decreasing. Many farmers grow wheat or cotton year-after-year to meet government quotas. They are usually poorly paid for their efforts.
Some farmers are willing to experiment with new crops or farming methods but lack the "know-how". They need someone to advise and mentor them as they try new things.
Our organization already has some small pilot projects underway: tomato drying, mushroom growing, fertilizing a wheat field for an orphanage, and community-based potato growing. But we don’t have enough agricultural knowledge to make more complex decisions and solve problems.
Bookkeeper
We’re looking for a self motivated, servant hearted person with an eye for detail to keep track of the finances for our field and its personnel.
You’ll be working in a crucial support role, assisting with field and personal budgeting, managing cash flow, keeping track of investments and ensuring good stewardship of our finances.

In Central Asia, entrepreneurs are brimming with ideas and enthusiasm but lack the "know how" to make small businesses work.
OM partners with NGOs (local and international) and local businesses in a variety of small business development programs. We hope to provide viable alternatives to the all-to-common labor migration, which drains skills, resources and creativity away from the local economy.
We urgently need experienced personnel from a business background who can be involved in training, resourcing and mentoring Central Asian entrepreneurs - men and women - through the process of establishing and expanding their own businesses.

This would include assisting inleading the current work, overseeing personnel and finances, and expanding and initiating new projects as opportunities arise. (M)
Disability Specialist
In rural Central Asia, disabled people are marginalized by society, often unable to receive an education and find employment, and trapped in poverty as a result
Our organization aims to break that cycle, through pioneering community-based rehabilitation programs that support disabled children (and their families) to achieve their full potential.
We urgently need more qualified workers to strengthen existing programs and expand into new areas, so that the lives of the disabled and their families can be transformed, both physically and spiritually.
English Teacher for Rural Schools Project
Central Asian teenagers want to learn English! Since the break-up of the former Soviet Union, English has become a sought-after skill. Fluency in English opens up higher education and employment opportunities. But for most village kids, learning English is an unattainable dream.
Our project focuses on disadvantaged rural Muslim communities. Government schools lack qualified English teachers, textbooks and supplies. Poverty prevents teenagers from accessing elite schools or private English classes. Our weekly English clubs give bright, motivated kids an opportunity to learn. Summer programs provide fun, intensive learning experiences.
We are also running professional development seminars for English teachers and teacher-trainees, giving them an opportunity to improve their language-fluency and teaching skills.
We urgently need new teachers so that we can continue this project and expand into new schools and regions. Help the young people of Central Asia fulfil their dreams!

Male Health Educator
HIV/ AIDS is increasing in Central Asia. We need men to get the word out to other men before it is too late.
Poverty in rural Central Asia drives many men to seek work in Russia for months or years at a time. Although labor migration ensures economic survival of many rural families, its long-term consequences are horrific – the current increases in family breakdown and substance abuse and especially the rising rate of HIV infection can all be directly linked to labor migration.
Our development organization’s projects take a holistic approach to health education, addressing the facts related to sexual health, HIV infection and other health issues within a moral framework where deeper issues are also addressed.
In traditional Central Asian culture, such subjects are normally discussed in single sex groups. As a result, our development organization urgently needs men with a health background and training gifts who can lead community-based health education projects aimed at men.
