Why Should You Consider Volunteering Abroad?
Turma 9.º D | 03-12-2025
Volunteering abroad offers an inspiring and empowering experience for young people who want to help, learn and develop.
If I could volunteer abroad, I’d go to Mexico.
I would like to help families who lost their homes after storms.
I could help build small houses, organise food donations and play with
the children.
I think it would be hard work, but it would also feel really good to
know I’m helping someone start again.

If I could volunteer in another country, I would choose to go to
Costa Rica. I’d like to help protect the rainforest, because it’s one of
the most beautiful places in the world and home to so many animals.
I would plant more trees, clean trails and assist in caring for injured
wildlife. I think it would be an amazing opportunity to learn about
nature and meet people who also care about the planet. It would be hard
work, but totally worth it.

What I would like to do is participate in a marine conservation
project, helping to monitor coral reefs and the coastline. I would like to
protect the marine ecosystems, especially turtles and other endangered
species.
I would choose this project because I have a passion for the ocean and I
want to do my part to protect wildlife. It would be both a learning
opportunity and a meaningful experience.

If I had the chance to do volunteer work abroad, I would like to help
children in need.
I would love to go to South Korea, because it’s a place I’ve always wanted
to explore. I would volunteer in schools or community centres, helping
kids learn languages and supporting their education.
Helping young people grow would make the experience meaningful.

If I had the opportunity to volunteer, I would like to volunteer in
an orphanage to take care of the children because I know it’s difficult
to live without a family, so I would like to take care of them and make
them happy.

My name is Eloah and I am 14 years old.
I would like to do volunteer work in Italy, especially in the healthcare
field.
I want to help people and learn how hospitals and clinics operate in
another country. I also want to learn about Italian culture, meet new
people and improve my English while helping others.

I would like to volunteer in Kenya, helping children in rural schools.
I would take part in education and tutoring projects, teaching English
and encouraging reading. I would also participate in community activities to
support local families.
It would be a meaningful way to learn from the local culture and make a
positive difference.
