Hi Jadespring,

I do hope your arm has recovered.

Apparently you are correct with Barbara.

Do you think that those who volunteer in different parts of the social scale, and different countries in the world would gain different experiences.

As the volunteers I work with come back changed forever.

Thanks my arm is fine now. :)

And yes I do think different sort of volunteer work makes for different experiences. I should have qualified my comment with a ‘depends of what it is’. I’m not knocking any sort of volunteer work at all but there is a difference between doing monthly stints serving at a soup kitchen and organizing at a food bank verses say going overseas and basically immersing yourself with whomever you are volunteering for in terms of what you are exposed too.
