Hot water, electricity, timely meal, and a place to stay should be
considered as the luxury of your sojourn. Don’t expect a 5-star
accommodation
MODIFY THE DEFINITION OF LUXURY

The programs you would be working in are located mostly in
developing or underdeveloped countries. The beneficiaries will be
learning whatever you teach them, they will imbibe your actions, and
thought process that you share. Make sure you pass them in the
correct way.
YOUR ACTIONS WILL LEAVE A LONG LASTING EFFECT

Of course, there will be time when you will get the opportunity to
wander the neighborhood, try local cuisines, and admire ancient
architectures. You won’t be staying there your entire life, so make the
most of it and experience as much as you can.
MAKE THE BEST OF YOUR TRIP
![Page 5: Things You Must Keep in Mind While Volunteering Abroad](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042817/55a63ada1a28ab165c8b45ab/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
When on a volunteering stint abroad, you will be spending most of
your day’s time with other volunteers. Always be respectful and helpful
to them too; often such occasions give you long-lasting friends.
YOU ARE NOT THE ONLY ONE VOLUNTEERING
![Page 6: Things You Must Keep in Mind While Volunteering Abroad](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042817/55a63ada1a28ab165c8b45ab/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Traveling abroad and cultural shocks are inseparable, we all know
that. The same is when you are volunteering abroad. Every
community has their own culture and traditions; never disrespect it.
YOUR CULTURE IS YOURS, THEY HAVE THEIR OWN!
![Page 7: Things You Must Keep in Mind While Volunteering Abroad](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042817/55a63ada1a28ab165c8b45ab/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Always try and draw new plans, ideas, and methods. This can be for
teaching them, ideas for making them earn livelihood, or help
community building. Don’t be just another sheep in the line; stand out
with innovative ideas.
COME UP WITH NEWS IDEAS AND METHODS; INNOVATE!

As mentioned earlier, a volunteer abroad stint will be a group task.
Not only, is it important for you to stay motivated and jubilant all the
time, but also keep the entire entourage motivated.
BE MOTIVATED, AND MOTIVATE OTHERS THROUGHOUT

While volunteering abroad, you get to interact with the natives on
personal level. This could be your best chance to learn their
culture and understand their lifestyle; something you won’t find in
any guide book.
KNOW THE NATIVES AS MUCH AS YOU CAN
![Page 10: Things You Must Keep in Mind While Volunteering Abroad](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042817/55a63ada1a28ab165c8b45ab/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
It is two way process of course. Most of the natives, you get to
interact with, may not even have moved out of their hometown, let
alone the country. Through you, they will get to know about things
and culture thousands of kilometers away from them.
…..AND LET THEM KNOW YOU COMPLETELY
![Page 11: Things You Must Keep in Mind While Volunteering Abroad](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042817/55a63ada1a28ab165c8b45ab/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Every place has its pros and cons, and the best remedy is to take
precautionary steps before hand. Do a thorough research about the
vaccinations need to be taken and latest criminal activity occurred in
your selected destination.
YOUR SAFETY IS ALWAYS IN YOUR HANDS

Smile, certainly, is a universal signage to connect with someone. While
on a volunteer abroad program, make it a point that when you leave
the place, you leave with lot of smiling faces behind. Even if you are
not at all familiar with the local dialect, a smile will simplify things a lot
for you.
SMILE IS A UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE

Always remember your prime objective; it’s your volunteer abroad
program. Whatever you do, wherever you go, whoever you meet; do
not stray away from the main aim, which is to be an ethical volunteer.
FOCUS MUST BE THE PROGRAM
