Volunteer Life
http://www.uvolunteer.org/volunteer-life/
With all the various volunteer abroad programs and their wares it is really difficult for participants applying to each program to get an accurate picture about what is involved and what happens whilst on a program.
To ensure our prospective participants have an good understanding of life as a uVolunteer we created this web journal.
This blog is run by uVolunteer staff, present volunteers and alumni volunteer.
