Indian Volunteer working in Developing countries of Asia and Africa
Five reasons why now is the time to volunteer ???
This year is shaping up to be a truly history-changing year. With so much uncertainty in the air, you might be asking yourself if this is really the right time to add another big change to the mix. Here are five good reasons why this time – more than any other time in your life – might just be the time to volunteer:
1. Change is in the air.
Think back a few months – remember how often we were hearing about “change we can believe in?” More than any other time in recent history, countries, organizations and citizens are ready for change – for real progress in building a better world. Thinking you want to stop hearing about change and start really living it? Apply to iVolunteer overseas and get the chance to make a direct, positive change in the world – you’ll probably change yourself in the process!
2. Even now, you can probably afford to volunteer – most costs are covered.
Yes, you read that right! iVolunteer Overseas offers a comprehensive volunteer training and support package that covers most of the costs associated with a volunteer placement. This includes your airfare overseas, health insurance costs – even a modest stipend while you’re in placement. As a volunteer, you’ll live among local people and enjoy a modest but healthy lifestyle comparable to that of a local professional. For full information on the volunteer package, visit the iVo website. Volunteering is probably much more affordable than you think!
3. Volunteering is an investment in yourself and your professional future.
Every day, we hear news of more downsizing and layoffs. Now is one of the best times to think about building your skills and professional experience. Consider volunteering now and spending the next two years working abroad: when you return to your home, you’ll be extra-prepared to re-enter the job market with the valuable cross-cultural work experience that employers are looking for!
4. Developing countries are being hit especially hard by the economic downturn.
While the global economic slowdown has affected people around the world, developing countries have been amongst the hardest hit. Some suggest that drops in aid and investment could even impact our ability to reach the Millennium Development Goals. iVo volunteers work with local partners to help improve lives in some of the world’s most disadvantaged communities. Through volunteering, you are helping combat extreme poverty – and doing so at a time when the economic downturn threatens to erode the great progress made over the past years.
5. iVO is recruiting now for volunteer placements in more than 40 countries.
iVo is actively recruiting volunteers from a range of professional backgrounds – from business managers to fundraisers, education specials, medical professionals, small business advisors to natural resource specialists. Visit the website today to learn more about volunteering with iVo and see a full list of the different skills we’re looking for.
