On 5 February 1991, Pedro Arrupe, Jesuit priest and Superior General of the Society of Jesus between 1965 and 1983, died in Rome. He renewed the order from an Ignatian spirituality, at the service of a strengthened faith and a grounded justice. The same year of his death, a network of volunteers emerged in Spain who, under the impulse of the Jesuits, took on the mission of creating a culture based on justice and solidarity. They were the seed of VOLPA, which stands for Voluntariado Pedro Arrupe and is the long-term international volunteer programme promoted by the Jesuit development cooperation NGOs Entreculturas and Alboan. Since its creation in 1991, more than 1,000 volunteers have taken part in it. 

Several volunteers give us their testimonies in this REPORT (in Spanish): https://infosj.es/documentos?task=download.send&id=3015&catid=146&m=0
