Ervaringsverhalen van oud-vrijwilligers
Wie kan er nou beter vertellen over hoe het leven eruit ziet als een Projects Abroad vrijwilliger, dan een vrijwilliger zelf. Zo kan je door het lezen van de verhalen bijvoorbeeld leren:
- Hoe gaan de projecten met Projects Abroad in zijn werk?
- Is het de moeite – en ook het geld – waard?
- Hoe zijn de 1e indrukken in het land?
- Wat kan ik tijdens een bepaald project in een bepaald land verwachten?
- Wat ga ik ongeveer doen?
- Wat is er in mijn vrije tijd nog te doen?
Onze vrijwilligers hebben hieronder hun ervaringen – tijdens of net na hun project – opgeschreven.
Door de verschillende links te volgen, tref je niet alleen enthousiaste en oprechte teksten aan, maar ook tal van foto’s. We hopen dat dit een goed beeld creëert van wat je kunt verwachten tijdens jouw avontuur. Mocht je nog vragen hebben of meer informatie willen, dan kun je natuurlijk altijd contact met ons opnemen.
