Are you interested in volunteering abroad one day? It may turn out to be the most memorable and favorite part of your next vacation. You can give back in many ways such as through education, animal conservation and forest restoration. You can also find volunteer opportunities in wonderful places all around the world such as in Thailand, Costa Rica and Germany. We’ve collected 3 of some of the best volunteer experiences abroad to give you a firsthand view from the volunteers themselves.
Give a Day Global partnered with Strategic Solutions Partners (SSP) – a taskforce recruitment and consultancy firm for the hotel industry – to give the opportunity to SSP contractors to embark on a volunteer mission through a program called Giving Time. Since then, SSP volunteers have built homes for families in need in Guatemala and helped in the conservation of sea turtles in Costa Rica.
Not only did the SSP volunteers make a lasting impact in the lives of the families and wildlife that they assisted, they themselves made unforgettable connections to the global community and environment. See and hear firsthand from the volunteers in these heartwarming video clips (by UrLife Media):
