More and more young people are taking voluntary work abroad. The wild variety of jobs and destinations
available is making it an increasingly attractive option for those who have just left school and have a year free
before university. Many choose to spend these twelve months working in poor countries. There they will earn little
or no money. But they will be doing something useful – and enjoying the experience. The work may consist of
helping the local communities, for example by helping to build new road or provide water supplies to isolated rural
