International Volunteer: Working with Children
Thinking about volunteering abroad?
Want to take a volunteer vacation? Think about volunteering internationally working with children.
It is one of the most rewarding and life-changing things you can do in your spare time. Most importantly,
it can dramatically improve children’s lives. Given the various and interesting programs, let me give
you a general description.
What types of opportunities are available?
Whether you choose to volunteer in Africa or anywhere else, there are many children who need help,
so your efforts will gratefully applaud. First, you need decide which country to work in. Many
volunteer abroad to experience more of a particular area they love. Next, decide on what type of project
to work on. These projects generally fall under the following topics:
●Work in school as a teaching assistant, helping with basic tasks such as reading, numeracy, etc.
The beauty of this is that no formal training or qualifications are required!
●Teaching English to children of all ages. Usually a TEFL qualification is required, but many
schools only require you to speak English to a native level.
● Running sports programs in various communities. If you are active and passionate about
helping children through sports, this is for you.
●Running music clubs to help kids learn new skills, develop teamwork skills and, hopefully, have
fun.
How do you go about organizing volunteer programs abroad?
As you see, there are varied volunteer opportunities available, depending on your personal interests.
To arrange a placement, talk to volunteer overseas agencies and they can help place you in the
community of your choice. Look online for agencies that look good on you!
1. What should be considered first before you volunteer abroad?
A. Qualification. B. Destination. C. Project. D. Personality.
2. What is required for running sports programs?
A. A good command of spoken English. B. Experience in sports events.
C. A passion for helping children with sports. D. Excellent teamwork skills.
3. How do you join a volunteer program abroad?
A. Search for suitable agencies. B. Choose among your interests.
C. Arrange your own schedule. D. Seek help from communities.
B
When Ryad Alsous arrived in England, he knew one thing: he wanted to keep bees. The insects
had been a major part of his life in Syria, and fleeing his war-torn homeland, it was a precious certainty
amid so much chaos.
As a lecturer at the University of Damascus, Ryad had built a respected reputation for his
research on Syrian bees. With over 500 hives, he produced over ten tons of honey every Year. Fleeing
his country in 2013, he lost everything.
Yet even with all his knowledge and experience, Ryad didn’t know if his dream would be
possible in the UK. “ I found that there is a lot of rain and the temperature isn’ t very high. All the
time I was thinking/“How can I set up another project here?”
The wet weather wasn’t Ryad’s only challenge. The language barrier and a vastly overqualified
CV made it difficult to find work. Eventually, Ryad volunteered at the Huddersfield Beekeepers’
Association, but he was still without a colony of his own. Finally, Facebook brought him into contact
with a woman in Manchester who was willing to donate an entire colony of rare British black bees.
“In one year, I was able to split the colony she gave me into seven. I realised that the
beekeeping project could become very profitable and successful in the UK.”
Soon, Ryad found himself with 17 hives, but he wasn’t finished yet. His
inner
teacher
was
itching to
get
out .
Through City of Sanctuary, a British refugee charity, Ryad began to run beekeeping
workshops for refugees and job seekers. The Buzz Project was born.
Today, the Buzz Project houses 14 hives, where Ryad shares his expertise. It has started to
bear fruit. Last year, they produced half a ton of honey (around 1,000 jars). But for Ryad, the most
important thing is bringing people together.
“We have local people, jobseekers and volunteers, in addition to refugees. All of them work together
doing the same job. The exchange between the groups, the information and skills, helps them
integrate very well and improve their language skills,” he says.
4. Why did Ryad come to England?
A. To keep bees. B. To do research. C. To seek shelter. D. To run business.
5. Which factor posed a challenge to Ryad at first?
A. The hot weather. B. His poor English.
B. His inadequate qualification. D. The cultural differences.
6. What’s the meaning of the underlined part?
A. He wanted to share his beekeeping skills.
B. He decided to establish a beekeeping school.
C. He wanted to expand his business.
D. He decided to find a teaching job.
7. Which of the following can best describe Ryad’s character?
A. Persistent and charitable. B. Ambitious and reliable.
C. Cautious and responsible. D. Independent and respectable.
C
Spring is coming, and it is time for those about to graduate to look for jobs. Competition is tough,
so job seekers must carefully consider their personal choices. Whatever we are wearing, our family
and friends may accept us, but the workplace may not.
