Product Description
Product Description
This is a unique anthology of volunteer experiences abroad. A great number of people consider volunteering at some point in their life and this is a nuts and bolts guide to volunteering full of honest accounts from the people who know. Volunteer Tales will appeal to those who have already volunteered abroad or even those who are considering it. It can be comforting and interesting to know that others have gone through similar experiences and, in the latter case, extremely useful to know what it would be like. However, these stories would also be enjoyed by a reader who has no interest in becoming a volunteer at all. They provide sheer escapist, humorous reading brimming with memories from life on the road. Each contribution has something different to offer and is particularly fascinating for anyone wanting to learn more about the reality of a country they may intend to visit. Volunteer Tales is a useful and truthful guide to a variety of locations but can be enjoyed by all as an escape from the hustle and bustle of life.
