Volunteer Work Overseas 2nd edition
by Peter Hodge and contributors

Volunteering is an attractive option for countless people. Surprisingly, it is easier to organise than many expect. Numerous programs exist that allow participants to volunteer their time and skills: from a two-week workcamp to a two-year professional placement to almost anywhere in the world.

This book shows you how to go about finding and preparing for a position. And there is no limit to the types of skills that can be put to good use. Building and restoration, childcare, national park track maintenance, teaching English, agricultural work, health workers and scientific research to name but a few. More often than not, just being prepared to work hard is enough. Most returned volunteers will say they got more out of the experience than they were able to contribute.
