Volunteering Abroad


Question Posted Tuesday January 12 2010, 12:45 pm

This February, I am going to Costa Rica for a week to volunteer to take care of children at an orphanage. It is through an organization I found online where people from all over the country sign up and go on volunteer trips. A couple of my friends were thinking about coming with me, but the money was kind of a problem (yes, you have to pay to volunteer) and they aren't going to end up going. I am still going though. I think it is ok to go by yourself.. I mean it sounds like something where people will be coming by themselves, because it's not through a church group or something. I mean, it's not like I am going to be alone, because I will be working with a group. I just hope everyone doesn't come in their own groups already, because I don't want to be the odd one out. Do you still think it will be a good experience?

with a group or not it doesnt matter.your there to help people and your going to be occupied with the children.id love to do that!your pretty lucky to get a chance like that.good on you for helping out im sure the children will love you!
remember it only takes one person to include you in a group so once you get to know your person youll be fine!dont see this as a big deal.im sure there will be people coming by themselves too!
have fun :)

Yes i do think it will be a good experience for you you shouldn't back out like you said you'll be with a group of people so you won't be completely alone you'll be helping others and that will make you feel good like you accomplished something you'll also get to see what Costa Rica's like and everything it has to offer i think you'll be fine by yourself i don't think you'll make careless decisions(: Enjoy!
