Voices of Hope: What’s It Like To Be A Volunteer At The School of Hope
Lauren worked as a classroom assistant for eight months and was immersed in all things Guatemala! In our 5th Voices Of Hope Podcast, Lauren is interviewed by host and Guatemala Outreach Development Manager Sinead Hickey. They discuss what it is really like to arrive in a new country, work in a second language and the experience of a School of Hope classroom assistant. If you know someone who's looking for a placement overseas whether, that's as a gap year, a career break or a retirement adventure - this is a must listen! If you'd like to find out about more about volunteering opportunities, once you've heard the lowdown from Lauren, contact Susan our Visitor & Volunteer Coordinator at visitors@eftcfoundation.org
Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.
Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
