Why go on a volunteering holiday?
volunteering as there are volunteers. Some people are fed up of run of the mill holidays, and want something a little more challenging than basking on a beach. Others would like to pick up a new skill – whether that’s scuba diving or Spanish – and what better way to hone your talents than by putting it into practice straight away?
You may just fancy doing something completely out of the ordinary for a couple of weeks. You could find yourself living aboard a research ship in the Mediterranean, documenting whale and dolphin sightings. For something a bit grittier, head to a favela or township to coach football, cricket or martial arts – it’s a two way learning experience, as the local kids get to grips with a sport, and you’ll learn about life for the 99%.
Generally, we would discourage would-be volunteers from doing a placement purely to add to their CV – volunteering should really be about benefitting local people and places. However, there are certain skilled vocational placements, such as healthcare, teaching and research, where individuals, perhaps part way through their studies, can gain real-world experience while putting their skills to good use. And of course, skilled professionals are always welcome – such as teachers on long summer holidays, or corporate workers on a career break who can share their IT, marketing or startup knowledge with small businesses overseas.
