No, you do not have to be! Will I be on my own or there will be other volunteers working alongside me? It depends on the project you will be participated in. For the community development project, there will be a group leader providing assistance at the project site and some volunteers to share the assignment whereas for the teaching project you will be on your own with the assigned class. What can I gain from this program? Once involved in the project, the volunteers will be able to have better understanding and sympathy for the difficult background of the children there. Besides, this job offers an opportunity to gain skills of caring and working with the children as well as teaching.
