| Abstract
|
:
|
To help more Americans find volunteer opportunities overseas, the authors - all founders of respected volunteer organisations - have written a guide that provides all the necessary information on volunteering in Latin America, Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and Eastern Europe. Presented in a user-friendly format that includes case studies, worksheets, and quotes from international volunteers, this books provides students, senior citizens, and everyone in between with information on: how to decide if volunteering overseas is for you; how to choose the right programme; what to do before and after you go abroad; fundraising and financing.
