I really do not see the rationale when people go abroad then they pay for the fair and all the expenses that goes with it. They pay expensively to work and help their build their homes. Is this a practical decision making? Is this what the world really needs? Or is this just also another mediocre attempt to help others.

The answers:

Yes the world needs volunteers abroad. Other people also need the help of other people. No man is an island. That also applies to the wealthiest nation. These nations – though are financially capable of existing without the help of other nations still needs the existence of other poor countries.

No it is not a mediocre attempt to help others. Volunteers are of so many kinds. Some volunteers usually pay for their fare and expenses as they travel. It’s like paying for a travel abroad but this time you do not see the sights but you help the life of others in some way.

Some volunteer professional are sponsored by organizations when they volunteer abroad to help others. Some doctors coming from the west come to developing countries with their travel expenses paid. Professionals like engineers and real estate valuation experts are needed in certain countries and they volunteer for some projects in the developing country without pay.

My choice to go work abroad and spend for my travel expenses is a well thought of decision and not a haphazard kind of decision making. I volunteered for the reasons that I wanted to share my skills and somebody out there in the whole wide world needs my skills and would appreciate it.

Thus my choice to go to developing countries such as Egypt and Ecuador are really dream of a woman who wants to share in a race different from her own.
