You have to remember that as an individual you have your expectations at your back as soon as you start your commitment as a volunteer.

 Lonely International Volunteer

It is a difficult experience when you go to other countries with a different culture, different language, and different custom and different people. Volunteer programs are meant for patient and flexible people. You will encounter so many inefficiencies with your volunteer program. You should expect the unexpected.

There are so many things that are happening in volunteer overseas that you need an open mind and an open heart. You need to see things in another perspective. For a volunteer program is seen as a study program. This time you study the culture and the people’ ways first hand. You do not need to read them and you need to experience them. And the best thing to do is fit into all these new things. You are one good volunteer if you are able to jump in to band wagon and enjoy the ride.

As a volunteer you expect to change people as soon as you instruct them and most found out that they can not. For the factors that you are against into are huge and already rooted in the system. So curb your expectations a little and enjoy what you are doing during your volunteer abroad.

Volunteer abroad and work overseas has some similarities and differences. Being a volunteer is in a new level. You are working and no being paid. You are working for a common good. You are working to help a community or an individual. But sometimes you are frustrated that the locals do not see your way.

It is up to you if you can take the heat as an international volunteer.



Bridge the Differences through Volunteer Abroad Program

Volunteer Abroad Host FamilySome volunteer abroad programs entails that some students will have to be housed in a host family. This is where you bridge the difference. This time you will meet somebody who came from other culture and got to live and learn the similarities and differences.

Some host families accept volunteer teens that came from different countries and even as far as Mexico. Adrianne who came from Chihuahua, Mexico was accepted in an American family- Taylor. The Taylor never knew anything about Chihuaha except that it is a breed of the dog. But it was surprising that it is the name of a certain place in Mexico.

But with the help of Adrianne, the Taylor family did not only point the certain location of Chihuahua in the map but also certain interesting facts about the state.

  • Chihuahua may mean the capital state in the Northern part of Mexico.
  • Norteno food is very famous in this state capital which consists of chilies, beef and cheese.
  • If you are looking for a pedestrian friendly place in Mexico, Chihuahua can fill in the post with certain degree of pride.
  • Chihuahua’s weather has a slight difference with the United States weather in that it is very hot with 40 degrees temperature during summer while the US has still a milder temperature. It is also very cold in Chihuahua during the winter. It snows during this season, perhaps once or twice a year.
  • Spanish is the language spoken in Chihuahua. That makes Adrianne a favorite among the Taylor’s family for he taught them the language and with their assignments with their foreign language- Spanish.

Involving yourself in a volunteer program does not mean only that you physically travel around the world. For that is an impossibility if you have your toddlers and family with you. But housing a volunteer makes a total difference. You are learning a different culture first without going out of your house.

The World of Volunteer Abroad in Costa Rica

I was arranging my things as the school year ends and for summer vacation and stumbled upon pictures of my volunteer work abroad in Costa Rica. I was lucky to have captured precious moment of our activities in this beautiful place.

We are a group of friends and students. As close high school friends we are enrolled on the same university and with different courses. I took Education, two of my friends took a veterinary course and the other two took an engineering course.

Before starting our college education we already planned of volunteering abroad and we chose Costa Rica. We are actually almost communicating to each other and sometimes visited each other on our vacant days.

So, we kind off get a chance to take pictures of each other while we are at work. The funny thing is we really had a great laugh over our shots. I got pictures of my vet friends trying to coax a cow to enter the barn.

Well some friends really had fun painting a house and trying to help fix it while I had a great time talking to children and trying to communicate with them and teaching them the English language.

When people say that Costa Rica is a paradise, I totally agree with them. Imagine to be easily meeting the Disney-like creatures in flesh. The mere simplicity and beauty of Costa Rica is staggering. Though Costa Rica is such a tiny country, millions of tourists visit it for its attractions and climate. The country experiences only the dry and wet season with highland temperatures from 15 to 26 degrees centigrade while you will enjoy the sun in the Caribbean and Pacific coast.

San Carlos, Cartago and Puriscal are just a lovely volunteer abroad destination in Costa Rica. Different program are available and up for grabs. We enjoyed our volunteer work abroad here. And I thank the beautiful country of Costa Rica for the wonderful accommodation.



Australia Outback Volunteer

Working in Australia opened so many realities to me both pleasurable and realistic. When I applied for the volunteer program I had so many choices from a volunteer work Cambodia, volunteer opportunities Costa Rica and volunteer international Ghana. Yet, I chose to frolic under the Australian outback sun.

The Land of Oz made me realize my goal of contributing positively to humanity in my little way. Australia belongs to the developed world yet it still needs so many volunteers to help maintain their diverse eco-system. I decided to take part on a conservation projects and witness life Down Under. The volunteer project that I participated involves taking care of the Australian wildlife.

Volunteer work Abroad in a foreign country like Australia gives you a chance to know the country on a different pace and way. Volunteering in some parts of the country that has not been visited frequently by the tourist gives you a warm feeling for the place.

Brisbane is another facet of Australian culture, architecture and tourist destination. The program I participated required us to fly to this capital city for the orientation, accommodation and training. I was glad though for such activities for the volunteers were given a chance to see many sights in this city. Brisbane though is the most romantic cities that I had been to. It made me think of lovers happily walking side by side in the Mangrove Boardwalk in City Botanic Gardens.

Right after every volunteer work abroad responsibilities done, my group head off to the nearest attraction and we were just so glad to be given a head start of getting to know Australia. We had fun with the city centre free loop bus and it was coupled with great shopping and sight seeing. Southbank Brisbane also offers crystal clear lagoons and a chain of swimming to enjoy yourselves till sundown. The cultural centre is also a must-see in our group itinerary, though we just kind of glimpse along so many museums and complexes.

A day of going out and basking in Australian lifestyle and digging deeper into their culture through volunteer work abroad Australia is just what everyone needs.
