Volunteer Training
Hesther Bate, who has already run two workshops on the subject, is proposing training week-ends on volunteering. These will have a full programme including testing, looking at existing projects, with real needs vs. skills offered.
Sessions would include listening and interpersonal skills; cultural differences (dress, attitudes to women/youth/age); health; diet; and practical issues like visas. Participants will be asked to take part in communal tasks and to contribute a small amount financially.
If you are interested, please contact Hesther at hestherbate@googlemail.com
