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?

Although we cannot offer you another funded scholarship at the moment, there is a substantially reduced price volunteering programme to Chile to help with the reconstruction after the terrible earthquakes which struck the country earlier this year.
