Volunteering Abroad! | My Experience & Tips

[@georginalucy4088]

Not suprised that you've volunteered twice, you are seriously the sweetest person. And this certainly opened up my eyes to possibly do something like this after uni!! x

[@lucille6888]

Awe thank you Georgie - you’re so sweet! 😘xxx I would definitely recommend that you volunteer abroad after uni! It’s such an incredible, eye-opening and life changing experience! 😊👍x

[@Suzy987]

Im watching this because my daughter has shown an interest in volunteering after college. Every video I watch makes me cry it's something I would love to do myself. So glad you had a good experience 😊

[@katiesilvester2352]

have just deferred my uni offers to work and then travel! this couldn’t be more perfectly timed! so useful thank you so much Xx

[@lucille6888]

Awe no problem 😘xxx have an amazing time travelling! You’ll enjoy it so much ❤️X

[@70ME3E]

thanks for the video, really informational, I find it pretty crazy that you have to pay for everything including accommodation and food when doing a ton of work for others as a volunteer. 500 quids a month is like someones salary here in Hungary.

[@hannahgoestravelling3189]

Really helpful video, I've just come back from volunteering in Ghana with Original Volunteers, really recommend it!!

[@zusiphesobuwa9702]

I also want to go to Ghana but I'm scared, is it safe? what about accommodation?

[@WaterMelonLolli]

Yesss I've been waiting for this 💓💓

[@lucille6888]

Hope you enjoyed it! 😘xxx

[@chetanyajariwala9089]

Nice video, volunteering is the best way to know about your Abilities, know about your skills and your self. I'm always searching for volunteering opportunities. I use My Selfless Act to find volunteer opportunities and share my humankind work.

[@chloemackinnon2096]

Loved this 💗 I really want to volunteer abroad during my gap year

[@lucille6888]

So glad you liked it! 😘x you definitely should - it’s such an incredible experience! Xxx

[@Mr-yv5vz]

Great video, your sooo pretty ! , I think it’s amazing what you did ! Xxxx

[@lucille6888]

Awe thank you so much Maddy! 😘xxx

[@lukecarrigan6]

Very inspirational. Really want to travel. Volunteering probably isn't for me so good for you.

[@lucille6888]

Thank you very much! I completely understand - it’s not for everyone but have fun if you decide to travel! 😊👍

[@harsheyz]

What other volunteering organizations were you considering?

[@shantelleglen1438]

This was such an interesting video and it’s so handy in case anyone wants to volunteer like what to expect and I absolutely would love to do volunteering and love u so much and so glad you had a nice time and enjoyed your experience xxxx

[@lucille6888]

I’m so glad that you guys have found this video interesting and helpful! 👍😊x you should definitely do volunteering at some point - it’s such an incredible experience! 😘x

[@auroraknight3766]

Only two years ago and you look so different 😍 Thanks for sharing your tips x

[@ImaniBrooksimb]

Aww that sound like me when I got sick in DR . I think you’ve gotten food poisoning. Because your symptoms sounded like mine. When I ate something and got food poisoning from a parasite in DR 🦠. Because I was really sick for a few days. Throwing up, intense diarrhea, I couldn’t keep water down either and my stomach had horrible stabbing cramping.

[@Heyxnobody]

This comes at the Perfect Time since i am finishing school in a month lol ✌🤗

[@lucille6888]

Oh yeah, I’d really recommend that you do some volunteering abroad once you’re finished school! 👍😊x

[@savit5160]

Hi I have a question... actually i am applying 3 month visa for vietnam to help poor people learn english and also help orphanage children and they provide all accommodation...my question is if immigration ask me what is your purpose of visit...what should I say or how to explain..I don't want my trip stop there ..do i need any documents from them to show immigration officer like mails or something...please tell me

[@epancheva]

I'm going to France for one year-long volunteer project. You could say I'm nervy because... Well because that's a whole year and I'm thinking what if it's not good, what if I don't like it? But then again I know everything will be alright, I'm just used to overthinking. I'm gonna be working with migrants and nature and I'm actually very excited and enthusiastic. But I'm also nervous, hahaha.

[@madtingz2288]

I’m from Scotland and I’m wanting to volunteer in an orphanage or something abroad, im worried about travelling myself as I’ve never been abroad either. Could I bring a friend on this company?

[@andreacastellanos2162]

What camera are you using to film your video?

[@mmmcr77]

This was a great video and super interesting! How did you decide which countries you wanted to volunteer in?

[@lucille6888]

Thanks so much! 😊 I just read uo about each project on the Original Volunteers Website. Quite a lot of them were volunteering in Schools and helping to teach English, but I knew that the main area of volunteering I wanted to do was in orphanages and with children who have special needs. I liked the sound of the Peru Project because it was based in an orphange and also the Morocco project involved volunteering in orphanages too but you could also volunteer with children who have special needs and who have down syndrome. 👍

[@sophieemilylouise]

I'm going to Thailand with OV, and hearing some of the horror stories I'm kinda scared :/

[@janicelalala6559]

Did Anything happened?

[@tialatham2253]

Janice Lalala She’s dead

[@harryskittyz]

Oh no!! A parasite? Do u think bc of the food? Thats so scary.

[@p96-d8d]

Ahh cool. I just went to Indonesia and participated in a week long home stay (with a hole in the ground as a toilet) they were very poor and i barely ate. It was also freezing in the mountains. But im SO glad I did It! I want to do the Morocco one! Also did you have to pay for this or raise money beforehand

[@lucille6888]

Oh wow - that sounds like a tough experience but I hope you still enjoyed it. Xxx In some of the areas that I volunteered in Morocco, there was just a hole in the ground as a toilet - they were very poor too 😔 Yeah you have to pay for everything yourself (I set up a just giving page and some of my friends and family made donations. I raised about £100 and that helped to pay for the toys and crafts that I brought over for the children. The rest I payed for by myself!) 😊👍

[@lexm17]

Perfect video for me as i really want to volunteer

[@lucille6888]

Hope you found it helpful! 😊👍

[@mohammadmuzahid1962]

Wow your statements are great. Can you give an information about Volunteering in Ireland? how I get engage with an organization of Ireland ?? Please suggest me something.......😍😍

[@hannahmarie9196]

I'm from Ireland!! 😊🇮🇪🙌🏻

[@bracedback]

How old were you when you went volunteering? xxx

[@lucille6888]

I was 18 😊X

[@miarose-cn3yh]

Hi Lucille! after watching your Vlogs of volunteering abroad I decided to book Morroco for July 2018! I’m just wondering, did they have strict dress code there due to it being a Muslim country?? What kind of clothing did you pack? Thankyou so much! :)

[@lucille6888]

Oh my gosh - that’s amazing!!!! You’re going to enjoy it so so much! I packed long, loose flowy trousers and I just wore t-shirts with them. I was a bit hesitant about wearing t-shirts at first because I thought that I wasn’t allowed to show any skin. But when I got there all of the other volunteers were wearing vest tops and shorts or skirts or dresses. So I guess, it’s recommended that you do try and cover up just to be respectful of their culture but I know that sometimes I was dying with the heat and so somedays I would wear a vest top if it was really hot! 😊👍 hope that helps and let me know how you get on! I want to hear all about it when you get back! Xxx 💕

[@miarose-cn3yh]

Lucille thank you so much for replying! What I’ve ended up purchasing is basically flowy trousers and vest tops so thank you so much for the help! Can’t wait to go now- And I’m coming to your meet up so I’ll tell you all about my time in Morocco then!❤️Xx

[@lucille6888]

Awe yaay! I can't wait to meet you and hear all about your trip! :) xxx

Do you know how you got the parasite/you know what parasite it was? x

Do you need a lot of money to be a volunteer I want to be one and I think I am ready but I am broke

I am a medical imaging tech and am registered in x-ray and CT. Although my experience in CT is limited and have had trouble finding a job here. I am considering volunteering abroad. I am not sure whom to volunteer with. Where do can I look into this?

[@dariokocirov8910]

I didn't know that you have to pay to volunteer. Annually yes but for a project... Ridiculous.

[@annac6558]

No its not. Would you expect to show up, agree to volunteer, then let them feed you and pay for Your accommodation? Volunteering is an experience that can take you , help you get in toed school for me. Its not strange that you would have to pay for that.

[@annac6558]

No its not. Would you expect to show up, agree to volunteer, then let them feed you and pay for Your accommodation? Volunteering is an experience that can take you places, help you get in to med school for me. Its not strange that you would have to pay for that.
