If you are keen on volunteering finding the right opportunity can
and should be very tricky and time consuming.
Most volunteering opportunities require a fee to be paid, often as
high as a holiday.
Many private travel and gap year companies have jumped on the
volunteering "band wagen".
We find it essential to establish first
- Where will the money that you have paid go?
- Who is benefiting from the volunteer project?
- Are you taking away a paid job opportunity from a local
person?
There are good, reputable and worthwhile volunteering
opportunities out there, but there are also opportunities out there,
whereby the only one benefiting is the organiser.
