Peace Corps: Life Is Calling. How Far Will You Go? For
many people
looking to enter into international careers, Peace Corps
can be an ideal
opportunity to learn a language, gain cross cultural experience
and
build the confidence to function in a new environment.
Volunteers
receive intensive language and cross-cultural training
in order to
become part of the communities where they live. They speak
the local
language and adapt to the cultures and customs of the
people with
whom they work.
Volunteers
work with teachers and parents to improve the quality
of,
and access to, education for children. They work with
communities to
protect the local environment and to create economic opportunities.
They work on basic projects to keep families healthy and
to help them
grow more food. Their larger purpose, however, is to work
with people
in developing countries to help them take charge of their
own futures.
At
the same time, volunteers learn as much, if not more,
from the
people in their host countries. When they complete their
service in the
Peace Corps, volunteers work to strengthen America's understanding
of different countries and cultures.
The
Peace Corps is fulfilling its promise by sharing America's
most
precious resource with the rest of the world: its people.
Volunteers
have helped pave the way for progress for countless individuals
who
want to build a better life for themselves, their children,
and their
communities.
Most
Peace Corps Volunteers are college graduates with degrees
in
liberal arts, such as history, political science, English,
social studies, or
psychology. The Peace Corps can find assignments for people
with
degrees in photography, theater, and other fine arts.
There is also a
need for people with degrees in non-liberal arts fields,
such as
business, engineering, and the sciences. In addition,
there are
opportunities for individuals with professional skills
and work
experience (in such areas as business, technical trades,
and
agriculture) and a commitment to service, but who may
not have a
college degree.
In
order to qualify for Peace Corps service, applicants must
be US
Citizens and at least 18 years old. While most of the
programs require
a college degree, many people qualify for peace corps
service with
experience in fields such as business, agriculture, skilled
trades or
computers. For more information about Peace Corps programs
and
application procedures, visit www.peacecorps.gov.

MADAGASCAR
Azafady is a UK charity and Malagasy NGO working in southeast
Madagascar to alleviate poverty, improve well-being and
protect
beautiful unique environments. Pioneer Madagascar is a
unique
opportunity for people to directly support and participate
in Azafady's
work at the frontline of global conservation and development.
Pioneers
join the Azafady NGO team in southeast Madagascar for
ten
weeks. Pioneers work within local communities supported
by our team
of specialists gaining skills and experience in a diverse
range of health,
sustainable livelihoods and environmentally based projects.
Living
conditions are basic, usually camping in beautiful remote
areas and
cooking over a fire.
Besides
physical and mental health, enthusiasm and cultural sensitivity
are key requirements; specialist skills and experience
are welcome but
in no way essential to become a Pioneer.
Pioneer
volunteers are asked to raise a minimum donation of £2,000
preferably through sponsorship activities, as this helps
to raise public
awareness about the unique beauties of Madagascar along
with the
plight of its people and its many endemic and endangered
species.
Apart
from being a unique personal adventure, Pioneer is a great
opportunity to gain experience towards a career in conservation
and/or
development work. Pioneer schemes begin in January, April,
July and
October each year. Visit www.madagascar.co.uk to find
