"Ngifuna ukuzithandela epulazini leWWOOF phezu kwekhefu lokuphumula," ngake ngatshela umngane wami.
"Ipulazi lempisi ?!" kwafika impendulo engenangqondo. Naphezu kokuthandwa kwawo eminyakeni yamuva, i-WWOOF isengaphandle kwegama lomndeni. Lesi sichazamazwi sisho iWorld Wide Opportunities ku-Organic Farms, futhi sivumela abahambi ukuba bahlangabezane nokuphila - nokuningi kanzima emsebenzini - epulazini kwelinye lamazwe angamakhulu ayisishiyagalombili emhlabeni wonke abamba iqhaza.
Amavolontiya ahlukanisa umsebenzi womzimba - ngokuvamile amahora amahlanu kuya kweziyisithupha ngosuku, izinsuku ezinhlanu kuya kweziyisithupha ngesonto - ukudla nokuhlala epulazini labo, kanye nezandla ezemfundo emapulazini. Ngesikhathi sabo samahhala, amavolontiya angakwazi ukuhlola izindawo eziseduze (ezindaweni ezihlala ezindaweni zasemaphandleni ezikude), vakashela amadolobha namadolobha aseduze, noma noma iyiphi enye imisebenzi yokuzilibazisa ehamba phambili nasemapulazini asempumalanga (uma nje engavumelani nendlela yokuphila kanye nezifiso zamabandla). Amavolontiya kumele okungenani abe neminyaka engu-18 ubudala futhi asize abanikazi bawo abanikeze inani elinqunyiwe lamahora. Ngaphandle kwala maqiniso ayisisekelo, kunzima ukufingqa isipiliyoni se-WWOOF: indawo ngayinye, ipulazi elibamba iqhaza, kanye nokuhlanganiswa kwabantu bazoletha ulwazi oluhlukile kakhulu.
Indlela Yokuxhumana Nezimboni Zase Host WWOOF eNetherlands
Amanye amazwe anezinhlangano zawo ze-WWOOF zakwazwelonke, kodwa eNetherlands - enamahloni amahloni angama-30 kuphela - awela ngaphansi kwe-WWOOF Independents, inethiwekhi yamapulazi emazweni angu-41 angenayo inhlangano kazwelonke.
Ama-WWOOFers angase aqonde eNetherlands angabuka kuqala uhlu lwamapulazi asempilweni kwiwebhusayithi ye-WWOOF Independents kodwa kumele abe yilungu (ngentengo ye £ 15 / $ 23 ngonyaka ngabanye, £ 25 / $ 38 emibhangqwaneni) ukuze uthole imininingwane yokuxhumana emapulazini futhi athumele imibuzo. Akuwona wonke amapulazi avumela amavolontiya unyaka wonke (ubusika, ngokuqondakalayo, inkathi ephansi ye-WWOOF umsebenzi); Ngaphezu kwalokho, amapulazi anekhala elinganiselwe, futhi azihlali zithuba zonke, ikakhulu ehlobo noma ngesaziso esincane.
Ngakho-ke, kubalulekile ukuthi uxhumane nabathengi abakhokhisayo, futhi ungalindeli ukuthi ipulazi ozikhethele kuyoba nesithuba; ngezinye izikhathi, kuyadingeka ukuthi uxhumane namafama amaningi ngaphambi kokuthi iWWOOFer ithole umdlalo.
Kuphi ukuya kuWWOOF eNetherlands
I-WWOOF epulazini iphelele eNetherlands, ikakhulukazi ezindaweni ezincane kakhulu ezinabantu abaningi ngaphandle kweRandstad : enyakatho, empumalanga naseningizimu bonke banezabelo zabo zezimayini, ngasinye esinezici zayo, kungaba izitshalo noma izilwane ezithile, noma ezinye imisebenzi. (Funda ngezici ezihlukahlukene zezifundazwe ezingu-12 zaseNetherlands.) Ngokufanayo, indawo yokuhlala ihluke phakathi kwamapulazi, ukusuka ekamelweni elivamile kuze kufike ekamelweni ukuya ethenteni; kungakhathaliseki ukuthi indawo yokuhlala yabelwe noma eyimfihlo nayo ixhomeke kumphathi. Lezi zindlela zivame ukufakwa ohlwini olufushane emkhakheni ngamunye epulazini ozibhalela yona kuphrofayili yabo ye-WWOOF Independents, okumele iWWOOFers abelindeleke ukuthi bahlole kahle ngaphambi kokuthumela ucwaningo.
