...Ann has demonstrated an uncanny ability to get to the
(spiritual?) heart of the question: "What is it YOU want to
DO?" and then relate the answer to an impressive list of
real and practical opportunities. What more does one

A
more personalized approach to volunteering:
~see what skills &
where your skills are needed.
1) Volunteer programs
--Custom fit:
we don't squish you into a 1-size-fits-all slot;
we identify
where your goals can be fulfilled & where your skills are most
needed.
--Great for everybody: professionals; trades;
students;
Boomers;
re-tired or "retreads"; regular folk; families; couples; honeymoons.
--Challenging: we engage your experience to tackle real challenges.
--Flexible schedule: Volunteer 2 weeks to 20 years
Each volunteer program uses many skills. So no tight
"job descriptions".
2) Customized
volunteering
E.g. Phone call to Ann: "Waddaya do you guys do? Waddaya do?"
Ann:"Waddaya you do?" Man: "I make deliveries. I drive a truck."
Ann: "Great. Can you fix things?" Man: "Sure."
"Well I have a place that needs your maintenance skills."
We help make dreams happen. "I always wanted to...."
& field unusual requests. e.g. autistic resources in Malta.
"The information Ann accumulated in 3 days for me about working with deaf kids is more than I have in
3 years." C. Des Loges, Toronto
Find it on your
own? It's not what you can find but
what & who you know.
Our contacts, broad knowledge of world affairs, how humanitarian
work is organized & international resources trumps a "find" on the web.
"NGOabroad is a
fantastic service for anyone wanting to work internationally, be
it paid or volunteer work. I was very impressed by Ann,
her honest optimism (no
sugarcoating but no dire warnings) and her curiosity about me
and my goals as well as her obvious dedication.
Ann's insight into and knowledge of the
world and non-profit organizations is invaluable. I now have a
much clearer idea of what opportunities are out there for me and
I have a real understanding of where I can best contribute my
skills.
I
consider the service a bargain."
Simone
