2Way Development
My twelve month placement is co-ordinated through the volunteer sending agency 2Way Development, which was created in response to a growing need for human resources and expertise in local non-governmental organisations in the developing world.
Without volunteers, many smaller organisations overseas would not survive. By working closely with these organisations, 2Way ensures that volunteers are channelled into appropriate areas of need. In assisting with project development, training or research, a volunteer can empower organisations to successfully engage in projects that offer long-term sustainable solutions to development issues.
Volunteering will provide me with an opportunity to travel and experience other cultures, as well as to make a positive contribution to something I believe in. Volunteering will also help me to increase understanding of development issues, consolidate practical skills, and gain first-hand experience of working in the field. In terms of personal development, I will improve my self-confidence, focus my career objectives and show adaptability, self-motivation and dedication.
By offering unique, skilled voluntary placements 2Way Development gives volunteers the chance to pursue their dreams and aspirations as well as providing a genuine benefit to the country in which they are placed.
Ultimately, in my volunteering position, I will make a lasting and worthwhile contribution to my own life and to the lives of people living and working in communities all over the world.
