Sabbaticals for Volunteerism Enrich Everyone

If you are considering taking a sabbatical, then an enriching option would be to take a volunteering placement overseas.

VSO is an international development charity that works through volunteers to deliver sustainable development programmes to some of the world’s poorest communities in 42 countries across Africa, Asia and South America.

VSO volunteers live and work with local communities, so really experience life in the country where they are based.

Volunteers share skills with local counterparts, and often say they have learnt more than they feel they have taught.

Consider spending a sabbatical giving to others and gaining a wealth of experience and satisfaction in return. Return to work revived, refreshed, and enriched and with more skills than when you leave the UK.
