Week 10- Human rights group of Costa Rica

Global Volunteer Network

There is nothing more inspiring than doing something and knowing that what you did is useful or it makes someone happy. This is what volunteering people do constantly. It is certainly a privilege to engage in those groups which help poor and homeless people around the world. The ones who have the opportunity of participating in international volunteering gain great experiences such as living in another country, learning about another culture, and experiencing a different way of life. It is a wonderful manner of contributing to the world in a positive way.

Global Volunteer Network is one of those many volunteer groups that exist around the world. It is a human rights group which connects people with communities in need. It is a group that has organizations in numerous countries and Costa Rica is one of those. This amazing society helps the communities in need in all the areas; it offers projects in several fields such as community development, conservation, children orphanage, health care, teaching, AIDS, construction, and many more. It worries about the development of the poor communities in all the aspects.

I believe that volunteering fosters in people a personal and knowledge growth. Moreover, it is a rewarding action because if the volunteer work relates to the field of study of a person; it will be a splendid way of gaining practical experience and also contributing to the community. I would like to participate in this type of international volunteering works because as a future teacher; it would be very useful for me and I would feel good helping those who are in needed. It is easy to be part of this kind of volunteering organizations; people just have to be more than 18 years old and have the inspiration to help others.

I consider that this organization performs a great job in the society. It is fantastic to know that they are many people worrying about the poor, who must of the time are disenfranchised. These kinds of actions are also very useful for the volunteers because they learn how to appreciate all what they have and also acquire knowledge about other countries and cultures.
