Top 10 Myths About Volunteering Abroad

January 01, 2011

Compassionate Journeys, Ghana

by Amanda Christmann Larson Director, Compassionate Journeys www.compassionatejourneys.comVolunteering abroad, in Africa or anywhere else, seems like a big, scary thing for many people. After all, nothing is familiar, and chances are good that you don't know anyone else in the entire country. It does take a special kind of person to volunteer. You have to be someone who is willing to go with the flow—who can go into a new situation without expectations or an agenda.
