How to volunteer abroad
There is so much good to do in the world! If you are planning a trip, here are some pointers to make the most of your volunteer opportunities.
Prepare in advance. 1.. Find out what languages are spoken, any cultural differences and any issues of which you should be aware. You must have a heart to serve, and also know how to be careful.
Go in with modesty. When visiting another culture, the first step should be humility. Go with caring hearts, open minds, and listening ears. Keep in mind that you are a guest. 2.. You won’t make any true progress. You might build a home for a family in need, but you won’t build trust.
3.. When you volunteer abroad, you should be doing it with a full heart. It’s important to eat with locals, share in their customs, and attend their activities. You must engage yourself fully in the volunteer opportunity, which shows that you care about what you’re doing together.
Share when you return. Don’t just keep that volunteer experience in your head or in your journal. 4., but even better is sharing it in one-on-one or group conversations. In these conversations, it’s not just “I dug a well and helped a community gain 20 more gallons of fresh water a day.” Yes, that is important! 5..
International volunteering is a gift. It is actually more of a gift for you than the recipients. Through the lessons you learn, you become a better person, a stronger leader.
A. Consider the time outside as an opportunity
B. Posting it on social media is a positive idea
C. Use their local techniques
D. If you don’t do this, you risk damaging the relationship at the start
E. Many people go in to “do the job” and then go back to their hotels
F. Make sure you take time to understand the host country before you go
G. Even more important is being sincere and learning more about yourself
