Introduction
In order to show you what life is like as a Projects Abroad Pro volunteer, we have interviewed previous volunteers and asked them about their time overseas. We hope that these case studies will help to explain exactly what a Projects Abroad Pro volunteer does, how they put their skills and qualifications to use and the incredible experience that awaits you in one of our 16 destinations in the developing world.
Education
 | As a career gapper (and 'older' person at 28) I was initially paranoid about being the oldest volunteer out there but I soon enjoyed spending time with the young, care-free students, although I met a few older volunteers older than me ... |
 | I have traveled to many different countries, both for pleasure and to work, but none have given me such a satisfying or rewarding experience as my time spent in Sri Lanka. I wouldn't change a single bit of it, and I'd return tomorrow if I had the chance. |
 | All three projects that I worked on went really well. I enjoyed all aspects of each project and I feel that I gained a valuable insight into Jamaica, its people and its culture. I chose Projects Abroad Pro because their information, presentation and friendly attitude were exceptional; they guided me through every stage of my application, travel arrangements, placements and throughout my time in Jamaica ... |
 | My time in Ghana was one of the most incredible experiences of my life. I was able to work with Ghanaian coaches and players of all ages, teaching them different ways to train and also learning from their methods. |
 | I am a type A personality and knew from previous Peace Corps experience I had to slow down my pace and most importantly had to allow each day to develop as it was supposed to rather than get overly focused on my agenda. |
 | Leave your expectations at the airport, throw yourself into your time here wholeheartedly and be rewarded with one of the best experiences of your life. |
Engineering
 | The Community Building Project which Projects Abroad Pro are running in Jamaica offered me both the opportunity to travel outside of Europe and to get my hands dirty. Whilst my experience in Jamaica has only lasted three weeks, I feel as though I have experienced more of the real Jamaica than I would have had I spent three months in any of the holiday resorts. |
Human Rights
 | Overall, I had an incredible experience in Ghana and I could not have asked for more from Projects Abroad and CHRI. I was made to feel safe and welcome from the time I stepped off the plane until the time I made my heart-wrenching farewells. |
Medical
 | Dr. James D'Agostino, MD / Cambodia James travelled to Cambodia for one and a half months, using his experience of working in paediatrics to help treat children in a disadvantaged area. He worked with Dr Kdan Yuvatha, the deputy director of the National Paediatric Hospital, which provides free treatment to children throughout Cambodia. |
Social Work
 | Marjorie Harris / Argentina,Bolivia,Mexico,Peru In Peru I helped Tim develop his work with Primary Teachers. I took out Big Books to use and leave as samples which teachers can read with the children to help their vocabulary and imagery of story. I helped him to train the staff in making their books with their children and spoke to a training group in Cusco. |
 | Romania had been in my head since the revolution but I didn't actually imagine I would ever go there. When I decided to retire from my job as a teaching assistant, specialising in special needs, I found myself on the internet searching for voluntary work with children in Romania. |
