International Volunteer

Are you good in English fluency and have the confidence that you can share your skills to others? Why not volunteer in Spain? Nowadays, despite the fact that Spain is a rich country in terms of business, tourism and culture unfortunately some of the locales in Spain do not know how to speak English. We all know that the language is the universal language that everybody is using to understand each other. It is as well a good tool to use for any conversation especially about business talks. Since Spain is a rich country, most of them wanted to disseminate their products and services to the other parts of the world and since they have difficulties in speaking the English language, they are calling on some expert volunteers who could help them develop their English language skills.

In Spain there is an organization that offers volunteer opportunities. The organization is mainly focusing on teaching English language for both professional and non-professional Spaniards. In fact, there are already about 3, 000 Spaniards in Spain who have been taught by the English volunteers coming from the different parts of the world. The name of the organization is Pueblo Ingles. The best about the organization since most of the volunteers that they have really help those Spaniards who have difficulties in conversing English can eventually learn the language even in just a few sessions.

If you want to become one of the volunteers of the organization the first requirement that you should fulfill is you have to be fluent in English. You also have to be an outgoing person who can easily interact with people in different cultures. If you have the confidence to face the people in Spain it would be easy for you to teach them the English language. Being open minded could also be a good idea to make your stay in Spain as an English language volunteer run smoothly.

Volunteering is not just literally means to volunteer. But volunteering means striving hard that really comes from your heart. If you just volunteer just for the sake of helping, you will never succeed in your plans. You will never feel the true essence of volunteering and it would be hard for you to adopt the culture if you lack sincerity. I guess all countries in the entire world need volunteers, even the richest one. Because not all of the people living in that particular country are rich, despite the fact that they belonged to that country still they need support from others.

The city of Costa Rica Spain is indeed a rich city. It is generally means a “rich coast” which shows off a tropical paradise like sceneries. It is rich when it comes to natural rainforest, glimmering white beaches and friendly locales. Just like what I mentioned above, Costa Rica despite being rich, there are still various locales here that needs help to improve their ways of living. In Costa Rica English is always included in their subjects unfortunately, their school is lack of English teachers. This is one of the volunteer opportunities that you can grab in Cost Rica. Some parts of the city also needs health services, if you have the skills about medication, you can volunteer in their health volunteering program.

While, if you like marine conservation you can volunteer in Marine and Sea Turtle Conservation. We all know that the leatherback kind of turtle is already endangered. It is already 80% of the population of these turtles is lost for the past 10 years. Costa Rica is hoping to relieve this problem through the help of volunteers. Volunteers will receive specific training on how to handle this activity. They will be trained how to make these turtles a nesting sanctuary and more that relates on how to make these turtles increase their population again.

Volunteering abroad is an exciting moment for both students and civilian. In fact, there are many who were craving to volunteer abroad. It’s an experience worth to remember, it is as well the best option to choose when you want something to change about yourself. There are many things you will learn about volunteering abroad, aside from learning their culture, volunteering abroad will help you know your capabilities as well as your weaknesses. If you want to have an experience about volunteering abroad, the best place to locate yourself is at Spain.

There are various choices of the volunteer works that you can choose in Spain. You can choose working at the Iscle Castle which is located in Vidreres known as the town from the XII century. Mostly, volunteer’s work here is to help working on the renovation of the castle particularly on its damaged areas. Volunteer is subject to work on cleaning the surroundings of the castle; help lead the visitors on the castles significant areas and also volunteers as well are accountable in informing visitors about their ecological and natural values which is full of archaeological materials.

Perhaps as a volunteer you would want to try on Spain’s “Monitoring the State of the coastal fauna and recovering old rural paths at Creus Cape”. This part of Spain is one of the most interesting places to see. What volunteers can do here is basically to monitor the state of the coastal fauna and also recovering the old rural paths within the area. Aside from that, volunteers also can do the work such like picking up rubbish from the various beaches in the area, disseminating information about the environmental respect among the beach users and marking the routes of the prehistoric heritage within the area. These are just some of the available international volunteer work in Spain, though very simple but yet help you mold into the better you.
