So what exactly is volunteering? Volunteering, is when a person like you dedicates their time to working on a voluntary basis. It takes truly committed people to do this abroad! Unlike other types of community volunteering, volunteering in Africa is difficult, challenging and profound. Volunteers in Africa will witness and experience things other volunteers never will or what they never would at home. This can be a huge challenge as often times volunteers experience situations that can leave them feeling sad, shocked or confused. But for the most part volunteers are often left amazed at the resilience of the local people they meet and at the skill and dedication of those trying to make a change. It truly is a hugely moving experience and one most Siret Volunteers never forget.
