Volunteering overseas is one of the most rewarding things you can do. It will change the way you see the world. Here are just a few ways it can leave its mark…
You realise that progress is only possible by working together
You may find you have skills you never knew you had
...Lots of skills you didn't know you had
You will become more patient. More laid back. Being "on time" may be a bit more subjective.
You will eat some of the most incredible food, but never be able to re-create it
You will also eat some less-than-incredible food, and never want to recreate it
You will realise there is a whole new level of exhaustion. Both physically...
…and mentally
You care less about the labels on your clothes, but care more about who made them and under what conditions
In fact, you will probably care less about your personal appearance entirely and care less about what people think of it
What you do, opposed to what you earn, may become more important
You may become a very adept motorcyclist, and even develop a life-long interest
..and you may reconsider just what a motorbike can be used for
You will start up conversations on public transport
Going to bed and getting up with the sun seems very logical
...especially when you wake up to views like this
You will make life-long friends, who live on the other side of the world, but you may still be able to meet up now and then
Your home may not feel like ‘home’ any longer
You realise that being a volunteer doesn't necessarily end when your placement does. There are endless opportunities to get involved and support others
...and you will spend a lot of your time convincing others to volunteer
"Sharing skills, changing lives"
