To pay or not to pay - that is the question.

Whether to pay-to-volunteer or volunteer-at-no-cost-to-yourself (or as the current debate puts it ‘paid or free volunteering’) – is a difficult and challenging debate and realistically there is no right or wrong answer – it is most definitely not ‘black and white.’

Some people want to travel abroad, to volunteer so they feel good about themselves – what is so wrong with that? Some people want to travel abroad to volunteer to give something back to society – again, what is so wrong with that?

Guatemalan hothouse has Padraig full of beans

Padraig Nelyon from Co Clare volunteered at an environmental project in Guatemala, this arcticle from The Clare Champion (Friday, February 6, 2009 ) presents his experience.

Maybe he's overstating it, but if he's not Padraig Neylon is surviving on an infinite diet of black beans and rice these days. However, while the Kilmurry McMahon man is attempting to adjust to a Central American diet, his grasp of Spanish is improving. In fact, he maintains that he can even throw a few words together in the Mayan language, or at least one of the 22 Mayan dialects in Guatemala. On the top of that, Neylon, who is working voluntarily in Guatemala for a couple of months, is attempting to teach Irish to some of his Central American works colleagues.
