LOL~ my friend is getting fed up of renegade volunteers
"3 ) Every volunteer is
self-supported.
Some people come up to me and ask me to pay for their entire trip
because they volunteer their time and effort (which is worth a lot
back in the home country). Yes I understand, but again we can't pay
for your trip/accommodation/food/everything. If We did, we would
have to take money from the food budget for the destitute to feed
you. Wouldn't be right there ya ?
4 ) Make a difference. I
mean... a good difference
Now, volunteers like to give things which are considered
necessities. ie necklaces, shoes, toys etc etc. You see in the
place i live, the kids grow up without lots of unnecessary items.
And its enough. 1st world necessities do not necessary translate to
3rd world necessities. You want to know what is needed ? Food.
Water. Sanitation. Shelter."
