How to Volunteer Abroad (For Free!) 🤝🌍 | Teaching English in a Refugee Camp in Greece

- I got to teach English at a refugee camp in Greece - volunteering abroad, for free! Want to know how to volunteer abroad? I'll tell you all about my experience with volunteering in a foreign country, how much it cost and how you can do the same 😊
I volunteered with a grassroots organisation called We Are Here at Nea Kavala refugee camp in Northern Greece. I found them through Indigo Volunteers - an amazing website that matches people who want to volunteer abroad with local organisations and NGOs looking for help.
If you have any questions, leave me a comment below. I'll be happy to answer them or point you in the right direction 💕

Have YOU ever volunteered abroad or at home? Is it something you'd like to do? 💕 I'm thinking of making a follow up video with advice on ethical volunteering and how to make sure you're *truly* helping - let me know if that would be of interest 😀
Wanna be friends ❤️🌹
Yes please!
How can I get in touch with you for some more information?
How can i apply pls
What age do you have to be
This is my absolute dream. It made me teary eyed watching this. Thank you for inspiring me and giving a great idea what my future might look like. I will re watch this over and over to keep my motivation strong.
Thank you for the kind words Nadia! I’m really glad this video left you feeling inspired - it’s one of my favourite videos I’ve ever shared on here because it means so much to me 💕
i just turned 16 and am taking my gap year to volunteer :)
I’m thinking about doing this too :)
@Nicole M lmao im studying for med school which is beneficial for me , i was supposed to be volunteering abroad in a malaysian school and the med centre near it though i decided because of covid i didn't want to put anyone in danger and have stayed home trying to do the most i can to build up my resume for med school . i'm not stepping away for my education im shining a light onto things that make me happy and put me further up in the world with my schooling and career .
@@emiliat4132 You can do that without bragging about your age. The comment sounded a bit pretentious and naive which is why we mentioned about education first. However if your planning on doing something in your summer break go ahead. I’m also 16 and considering going abroad where the need is greater to get into an IVY or Russel Group uni down the line.
@@francisa7567 if you don't understand the British schooling system please kindly don't talk about topics you have no clue about thank you :) ❤️❤️
@@emiliat4132 I’m in England myself. I think I have a clue about the British System and volunteering improves your likelihood of gaining acceptance on your UCAS statement. Your aware of this. We don’t care about helping people, we’re all just doing it to boost our own job prospects. The truth hurts Emilia
Feeling so inspired to do the same 💓
I’m so happy to hear it! 😁
Beautiful video. Thank you for sharing your experience, that’s totally what I see myself doing more and more
I almost cry with this content. I just love how heart whelming your experience was. This is also one thing I am dreaming of doing. Helping people is really fulfilling. You have a beautiful personality. Keep safe and God Bless!

Shokran habibti I am trying to start my life as photographer and video blogger. I hope one day you see my pictures and videos.
This looks soo much fun and so close to my heart. Loved your positive outlook at all of this.
One doubt I have is :
How is this all going to work out now in a Post Pandemic scenario ?
Great question
Oh my, I would loooove to volunteer as well. This is dream job! Can you please share the key skills needed for one to be a volunteer? Thanks! 😊
I would love to do something like this next summer when I'm finished my university degree+
Such a great use of your time! You’ll learn so much 😁
Hello! New subsriber from Greece here. I was just curious as to where was the camp situated? Where you on an island? Also its really nice to see someone adressing the issues these people deal with. Locals for the most part try to help, them but there is so much we can do as simple civilians.
Greek people were sending back refugees
Thanks for video keep going 🤠 greeting from Morocco
Thank you
Very nice
I love your enthusiasm! I’m looking for volunteer program for this summer and i’d love to help refugees like you did. Do you know if there’re more options then just english teaching? cuz i’m not native english speaker :/ thanks for the message anyway cuz Arabians are awesome people and their culture is incredible! I wish you good luck and thank you! Chiao!😁🇨🇿
Same
Me too

Hey !! What are you’re views on volunteering during the pandemic ? I’m on a gap year in 2021 and I am allowed to leave South Africa - so I really do want to volunteer overseas somewhere relatively safe, would you do it ?
Why not try Camphill Communities around the globe?
I have a question please answer 🐱🙏
What kind of visa do we need when we want to go to a country for a workaway or helpx?
Hello, I am a prospective English teacher. Can i be a volunteer for summer?

Volunteer
I want my life change.. i need this kind .. pls help me.
I want to do it can you plz help me🙏
they dont pay for your housing unless you are a real assets (according to what I heard)
Yeah, I agree with that! Your housing is unlikely to be covered unless you have key specialist skills.
What did they charge you as a volunteer? Flight ,visa ? Or free ?
Yes Maybe around 100,000 lack for a month
I shocked and thought its better not to going their and I skip the program
@@sirajpathan8033 100 000 what
Can i be a volunteer for Syria?? 😢
Yes. There are many refugee camps with large Syrian populations in Greece, including the one I volunteered at.
How did you make money? I assume you saved up before hand and use that money for food/entertainment
That’s exactly right Mariela - I saved before volunteering ☺️
Dear woman blogger, i don’t know my comment reach you or not but i really wanna say, i fallen in love with you dear. Can you tell me that will you have plan for volunteering under indigo Again sweetheart? Wish to meet you. I honestly you are my love at first sight .❤️

Nein Nein Nein
so what's free? 😂
Most volunteer abroad schemes that I’ve come across make you pay a fee, these are free but you need to cover your living expenses (although some organisations might even cover these for you, based on your level of expertise ☺️).
What they charged from you
In India they are charge to go to Egypt a month around 1 lack
