Dear Sir or Madam,

This letter is to express my interest in the volunteer advocacy team position at Engineers Without Borders Winnipeg Professional Chapter, advertised in [] on July 20, 2013. Based on my skills in engineering, construction, project management, leadership, communication, collaboration, organization and teamwork, I am confident that I would be a great addition to your team. I have an ability to learn quickly and overcome unforeseen hurdles daily.

I worked as a volunteer with Architects Without Borders Andalusia on a project of a house-school in Paraguay. I had to use all of my knowledge about engineering and my experience in management of large-scale projects. I proposed a lot of new solutions because of the limited resources available in this location as well as worked in a team for one common goal.

My professional experience is that I’ve worked as an assistant project manager at large budget projects in Spain and Algeria. The experience in Algeria was highly enriching because people there are poor and they have few resources for working so this situation aroused in me a feeling of wanting to help and to contribute to them.

I am now looking for a volunteer position because I love to help people in developing countries. I want to change lives and to put a smile on someone’s face. Also, I want to lend support to poverty eradication and to work on complex social change challenges assuming responsibility. I believe I will be an asset to your volunteering association.

Thank you in advance for your time and if you require any additional information, do not hesitate to contact me by phone or email. I hope to have an interview with you and so demonstrate to you my values for the position.

Sincerely,

Amanda Rodríguez
