Volunteers in Mozambique
Volunteering, while traveling in Mozambique or any other country in the world, is a way to totally immerse yourself in the local culture. Volunteering provides a great opportunity to make life-long friends, learn a new culture from the inside out and discover that one person really can make a difference.
Watch the film and leave your comment, please.

In my opinion this kind of people who are dedicated to volunteering in different countries or continents, which should be rewarded with something as simple as it was.
Volunteering is an activity that captivates me enough, because the volunteer contributes to the good of all living beings.
I think the first comment was written by Inês, but you have to sign your comment.
Correction - continents, should be rewarded ....which is not used to refr to people, but who.
Thanks for the comment

I really enjoyed watching this video. It shows that volunteers give themselves heart and soul to the mission, with strength, courage and effort. It is an opportunity to do something more for the world and can still be a very enriching experience to the level of human relations, opening our eyes to different realities. I admire what volunteers do.
Dear Andreia

In this video I see the volunteers in Mozambique. I can also see courage, strength and love for others in it. In fact, voluntary work has many advantages for the volunteers. It teaches them how to deal with people and problems and how to be pragmatic. The young volunteers also learn about the skills they have and they realise they are capable of doing a lot more than they thought. I think that whenever we can we should be helping each other.

After to see this film about the volunteers in Mozambique, I was really fascining because several people of diferents parts of the world volunteer to help others peoples, principally the youngers and here show the courage and the love they feel for others because it was not anyone who would do this action. So I think that the volunteer is important because we can change the world for the better.

This film shows what really happens in this poorer countries. Being in this situation is not in the head.These volunteers are really "heroes" as dedicated to this cause of body and soul.This volunteers are an inspiration to me. in my future i will dedicated my life to this causes because it fills me and these problems happening hrts me.
The video that I have watched is a trailer of a film named " The things we´ve learned" by Alexandra Pinschmidt.
In that trailer we can see several volunteers from different countries that went to Mozambique during a year to do voluntary service with the organisation " International volunteers working in Mozambique"
They taught children and they learned more about the countrie: the low life expectancy because of diseases like HIV and tubercolosis; difficulties with food provision due to droughts and lack of agricultural development: financial difficulties and also low self- esteem. This is why those volunteers say that it is so important to go to those countries and do voluntary work.
I think that is necessary to have extraordinary courage to go to those underdeveloped countries and have all their lives behind, to do voluntary service.
It must be extremely hard to look at the people that live in those countries and see the lifestyle that they have, which most of the times is very hard, with lack of resources and having to fight for survival.

In my opinion people who do volunteering is very generous, because they help poor people who need clothes, houses to live and instruction.
They didn't have much money to help them, but they teach them and give them clothes to wear.
I really admire what volunteers do.
I think this video is very important for everyone because we all should help people who need it most. I really admire people who do volunteer work.

This volunteer in Mozambique was an act by the very helpful people, and also one day like to contribute in this way can, for volunteering has many advantages, makes the world more just and caring. This video was for me a way to show all the misery that exists in the world and we should all contribute in some way.
Comment by Mariana Simões:
I think that this video touches the hearts of us all.
The video shows Mozambique and the work that has to be done to make this country better.
Helping Mozambique is a difficult task. No money, no basic life conditions, and still it is did by someone who instead of having lots of money has a huge heart, dedicating its life to helping those in need by volunteerism.
Contrary to what may seem, volunteering is not an easy decision. Not everyone is willing to exchange their comfortable homes for tents and beds in the floor, family and friends for an unknown or careers for an almost anonymous and unpaid.
Volunteering may not change the world, but it is a start. The video proves it.
In a country where hunger is just not the lack of food, the seed of goodness is welcome as bread for the soul.
I feel inspired to do the same.
