HELP OTHERS TO HELP YOURSELF!
My organisation believes that improving the quality of life of the volunteer is equally as important of helping develop the communities served in the projects it undertakes.
I have specified my TA to 18-35 yr old's suffering from depression due to their job and lifestyle. They also will be people who would not usually get the chance to complete a gap year due to social and economic status. They will have a low level of qualifications that has prevented them from moving forward in a career. The values and beliefs of my organisation is to give them the chance to complete a gap year as it will improve their mental state through gaining a sense of pride and achievement. In addition to this they will pick up valuable skills which can be transferred to the job market on return. I will also need to consider costs due to the charitable nature of my organisation which I didn't state before.
The activities that I will be offering will become more refined after further TA research but I'm currently looking to focus on projects that are based around helping people rather than wildlife, marine life or eco-systems. They will range from teaching to construction. I think that I will select around 5-10 different activities for the volunteer to choose from.
