Siza Abanye Abanye, Bona Umhlaba
Uma ucabangela ukuphuma endaweni yakho yokududuza nokusiza abanye ngesikhathi sakho, cabanga ngokuthatha uhambo lokuzithandela nge-i-to-i. Kuyindlela enhle kakhulu yokuya ezweni elisha ngenkathi ubuyela emiphakathini ohlangana nayo lapho.
Amanye amathuba okuvolontiya ahlanganisa ukugcina ilwandle eGuatemala, ukwakha imizi yamaHonduran, ukukhulula izinhlanzi zasolwandle eCosta Rica.
Kuyindlela enhle yokubona isiqephu seplanethi bese ubuya ekhaya ngombono omusha wendlela abanye emhlabeni abahlala ngayo.
Abafundi basekolishi base-US bafuna ukutholakala okuhlangenwe nakho okwesikhashana ngokubambisana, ngokusho i-i-to-i. Umhlinzeki womhlaba wonke wenza okungaphezu kwengxenye yonyaka webhizinisi lakhe ngokuhamba kwabafundi futhi uhlangabezana namaphesenti angama-40-50 ukukhula konyaka ngamanani ezisebenzi zokuzithandela zamaholide.
Okuhlangenwe nakho
I-to-i isipiliyoni nesithakazelo esikhulayo phakathi kwabafundi akuyona eyingqayizivele, kusho u-Lee Ann Johnson, umqondisi wokuphatha inkampani. Eminyakeni yamuva, abafundi abangaba ngu-30 000 bakhethele inkonzo yomphakathi esikhundleni seholide zendabuko ngokusho kwe-Break Away, iqembu elizwe elingenzi inzuzo elisiza abafundi ukuba bahlele ukuhamba ngezinsizakalo. Futhi kusukela ngo-1994, inani lezikole ezihlanganyela kwezinye izinhlelo zokuphumula ngeCampus Compact, ukuhlanganiswa kwamakholeji kanye namayunivesithi angaphezu kuka-1 100 ase-US okukhuthaza inkonzo yomphakathi, sekuphindwe kabili.
"Abafundi bekholeji bafumana ukuthi bayakwazi ukunikeza isipho esingaphansi kwamaphakheji ahlanganiswe ngesipho," kusho u-Lee Ann Johnson, umqondisi ophethe. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, uthi, amaholide okuzithandela abasiza ukuba bathole isipiliyoni sezwe langempela, bahlole izinketho zomsebenzi futhi baqinise ukuqala.
Ngakho-ke, yini oyitholayo ngokuzithandela ngaphandle kwezilwandle?
Okokuqala, ungathola ulwazi olubalulekile lwezinsimu ezinkampanini ezibandakanya ukumaketha, u-journalism, ukufundisa, ukuxhaswa imali, izinsizakalo zomphakathi kanye nokuphathwa, kusho uJohnson. Ezimweni eziningi, abafundi abaphishekela iholide lokuvolontiya bangathola i-college credit, kanye nomhlinzeki wezokuvakasha ngokuzithandela esebenzisana nomfundi kanye nomeluleki wezemfundo. Abahlinzeki njenge-i-to-i futhi banikeza izifundo zokuqeqesha zokuqeqesha abafundi ukuba bafundise isiNgisi njengolimi lwangaphandle (TEFL), okumele kutholakale uma izinhlelo zakho zesikhathi esizayo zihlanganisa ukufundisa isiNgisi njengendlela yokuxhasa izimali zakho.
Izisebenzi zokuvolontiya ezingokoqobo zingakhetha ezindaweni ezihlukahlukene, kusukela eNdiya kuya e-Ireland noma eCosta Rica kuya eCroatia. Amathuba wokuzithandela avela ekufundiseni isiNgisi ukwenza ukulondolozwa kwamasiko nezemvelo noma ukwakha amakhaya. Ukukhetha ukuvakasha kungase kube okufishane nokuhamba ngeviki ezintathu noma uma nje amasonto angu-24, kusho uJohnson, ekwenza amathuba okuthandwa ngabanye. I-to-i inikeza nenani elikhethiwe lamathuba lapho abahlanganyeli bangathola khona imali yokufundisa isiNgisi.
"Abafundi basekolishi befuna ukwenza okungaphezu kokulala ngasekupheleni futhi bavakashele ezincanekazikazi, omalume nabazala, ngaphezu kwebusika, ukuphumula kwentwasahlobo noma ehlobo, iholide lokuzithandela lingabasiza bafunde ngemisebenzi yabo, izwe labo, futhi ngokwabo," kusho uJohnson , futhi sivumelana ngenhliziyo yonke.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, wonke amaholide wokuzithandela i-i-to-i asekelwa ngokugcwele ngabeluleki bezemisebenzi nabaqeqeshiwe abaqeqeshiwe, abaqondisi bezwe abakhokhelwayo, ukuqoqwa kwe-sezindiza kanye nokuma, ukulungiswa okuphuthumayo kwehora lamahora angu-24, nomshwalense ohamba phambili nomshwalense wezempilo ohambelana isipiliyoni samaholide sokuzithandela. Ungesandla esiphephile, futhi ngeke udinga ukukhathazeka ngokulahlekelwa kwelinye izwe!
Imininingwane Eminye
I-i-i iyinhlangano yenhlangano yamaholidi yamazwe ngamazwe okuzithandela, okukhethekile ekusizeni imiphakathi ehluphekile nezinhlelo zokuphila emhlabeni jikelele. Le nkampani ihlela ukufakwa kwamasonto angama-1 kuya kwangu-24 ekufundiseni, ukulondolozwa, umsebenzi womphakathi, ukwakha kanye neminye imisebenzi eminingi emazweni angaphezu kuka-20.
Eyasungulwa ngo-1994 ngendlunkulu yomhlaba wonke eLeeds, eNgilandi, i-to-i eNyakatho Melika isekelwe eDenver, Colorado.
Kuze kube manje, inkampani iye yaletha izisebenzi zokuzithandela ezingaphezu kuka-10 000 emaphrojekthi emhlabeni jikelele. Ukuze uthole ulwazi oluthe xaxa mayelana namathuba okuvakasha ezokuzithandela ezizayo, vakashela iwebhusayithi ku-I-to-i Ukuhamba Ngokuzithandela noma shayela u-1-800-985-4864 ngolwazi oluthe xaxa noma incwajana yamahhala.
Inothi: njengezinkampani eziningi zokuzithandela, lokhu okuhlangenwe nakho akuyona mahhala. Qinisekisa ukuthi ungasindisa imali ngaphambi kokuba uzinikele ohambweni lwakho lwangaphandle.
Amavolontiya Amathuba Okutholakala Kubafundi
Ngokusobala awufuni ukubhalisela ithuba lokuzithandela elingathinti kuwe, ngakho qiniseka ukuthi uhlola iwebhusayithi yabo ukuze ubone ukuthi yini etholakalayo. Kuthiwani mayelana nokuphakamisa amabhubesi nama-tiger eNingizimu Afrika? Ukwakha imithombo yasemaphandleni aseVietnam ngemuva kokuhamba eMekong Delta nokuhamba ngezinyawo ngaseMay Chau? Amathuba okuvolontiya angena ngaphansi kwezigaba ezilandelayo:
- Eco / Environment
- I-archeology / i-anthropology
- Ukunakekela impilo
- I-TV / Umsakazo / UkuPrinta UkuPrinta
- Umsebenzi womphakathi
- Ukwakhiwa kolimi / Ukwakhiwa koLwazi
Ukuphumula kwe-Spring Break Volunteer
I-to-i iphinde isebenze okuhlangenwe nakho kokuvolontiya ngesikhathi sokuphumula kwentwasahlobo, okuyinto yezikhathi ezinhle kakhulu zonyaka ukuzivolontiya. Uzokwazi ukubuyisela emphakathini ngaphezu kokubekwa kweviki elide, uhlangabezane nabantu abasha kuwo wonke ububanzi bezizinda ezahlukene, amehlo akho avulekele ilungelo lakho, ukugcina izindleko zakho zeholidini phansi, nokuthuthukisa ukuqhubeka kwakho. Kusobala ukuthi kufanele ukhethe ukuhlola.
Lesi sihloko sihlelwe futhi sibuyekezwa nguLauren Juliff.
