Volunteering in a Credit-Crunched World

The global economy is in crisis and we’re all tightening our belts. Is this the right moment to be volunteering?

Yes! Volunteering is still a smart move. Here’s why:

You’ll help poorer countries through the crisis by:

• teaching English (vital in this global market)
• helping with social care, health or environmental problems
• spending your money locally
• supporting their tourist industry by sightseeing and travelling around

You’ll help yourself because:

• you can live very cheaply once you’re out there
• you’ll learn new skills and grow in confidence
• you’ll enter the jobs market with a more impressive CV
• AND you’ll have a great time!

We hope this motivates you to keep stacking those supermarket shelves and raise the cash. It really is worth it!
