International Volunteer

Volunteer Eco Students Abroad (VESA) is one of the many volunteer organisations in the world. So why should students choose for this particular one as a volunteer program?

Well, VESA is a unique volunteer organization which provides students and other open-minded people to go into a country and become a meaningful part of the community as a volunteer abroad, combined with adventure tourism. The program provides a balance between helping the less fortunate through volunteering and an adventurous trip by exploring a new country.

The program focuses on volunteer work in Fiji and Ecuador. You can help villages provide fresh water, restore local school equipment, teach English to primary school children, … in a program that is worked out for you day by day.

All the VESA programs are accompanied by staff members who are bilingual and familiar with the habits of the people in Ecuador and Fiji. Furthermore, all the local guides speak fluent English. You can make a difference while enjoying beautiful parts of the world as an international volunteer.

Of course there are many good organisations for volunteer work abroad. But I consider this organisation as a good one which offers programs with a nice balance between volunteers work and cultural tripping. You can enjoy new experiences in some of the world’s nicest countries while knowing that you are a meaningful help for the local communities.

International volunteer work is a profound and serious decision. But it does not have to be boring. You can travel and volunteer abroad and have fun. How to make volunteer fun? Choose an international volunteer program that suits your interest.

If teaching runs in your blood then seek a teaching program. There are so many countries to pick from. Especially if you speak the English language, there are countries that will happily welcome your help. From European countries to the south countries; Spain got volunteer program that caters to English speaking volunteers. Your mere presence is welcomed. If these student can not go abroad to practice the English language then they attract English speaking volunteer to interact with. You will be strutting around Spanish cities and get pleasures in architecture hopping while speaking your tongue.

International volunteer work can be done to help or have fun. As long as you are doing something that interests you. It is contributing to the world community while you are having fun. Doctors are needed worldwide; anywhere they are welcome by communities. Some southeast and African countries needed such medical help.

If you love dancing then you can volunteer to teach children how to dance. Can you imagine yourself, influencing and teaching kids your passion? A Philippine province in Visayas dreamed of putting a hub for the children to express their talents. They do not have to express themselves on the dusty streets in full view of the whole town. Donations are welcomed if dancing is not one of your forte.

If children have a soft spot in your heart; seek an international volunteer work with such program. You can take care of orphan children in Ecuador perhaps or in the United Kingdom. Care for a baby who does not even know that he does not have the parents to meet right after they were born.

Volunteering does not have to be tedious work. Look for something that you are passionate of and cross boundaries to share your interest.

A volunteer work abroad is working side by side with the local people and you’ll experience other culture that never been before.

People volunteer for different reasons yet we have narrowed the reasons, there are actually three reasons why people volunteer. Here are the top reasons why people volunteer.

The basic level about why people volunteer is because they can benefit from it. For example if you are an intern and you have done volunteer work, you can write your volunteer work in your resume or you can actually ask someone to write you a recommendation letter for this. The motive of this volunteer work is personal.

The next level aside from people benefit from this volunteer work is because they were motivated or recruited by a friend to do the volunteer work. This is one of the best ways to motivate people to do volunteer work because of their friends are into volunteer work and the organization. If ten of the people in the organization can actually bring a friend with them to do the volunteer work most probably there would be lots of volunteers for that organization.

The last reason would be passion. Most of the people volunteer because of the first two reasons and eventually they become passionate about what they are doing. They have the commitment and believe in the cause of helping others and so on.

There are various kinds of volunteer work, not only do the singles or young adults that can do volunteer work, there are also volunteer works that are for families. You can do volunteer jobs together with your families. Here are some guidelines in choosing which family volunteer work that suits your family.

First, in choosing the kind of family volunteer work, parents should know what kind of volunteer works children would want to participate. If they would want to do volunteer work in nursing homes or with animals and so on, let them decide with you.

Second, make sure that the organizations that you and your family are going to participate has someone with them who has experience in child services and teaching so that they can help out in the family activities.
Third, select an organization that has programs that are for families and are small. There are some programs that only cater twenty families or just a team of a one parent and child only, whichever you and your family may prefer.

Fourth, it is best if you make sure that the staff members understand children, not necessarily they like children but at least may understand children.
Fifth, you have to know the time frame of your family volunteer work. You have to consider the schedules of your children, their studies and to when they are free.
