Making a Difference

Obviously, volunteering in a foreign country is about helping, but do you know at what extent you can make a difference in someone's life?
I once was told by a doctor who lead medical students to Guatemala to see how medicine is practiced in far away comunities, that a simple aspirin can make someone else's life so much easy to bear, not to mention a simple antibiotic can save someone's life.
I personally appreciated seing foreign volunteers helping clean up after Agatha tropical storm that destroyed many homes.  These blond people working with the mud up to their waists shoulder to shoulder with Mayan and other Guatemalans was really inspiring for the communities.
So, even if you are comming for a short while to help clean up after a tropical storm of hurricane, or come and work for a few months with children, believe me: the difference you will make in more than one, is trully life changing!
