Comparison Speech Text

Good afternoon, my dear friends. This afternoon, I’m going to share my experience of being a volunteer in UK in the Projects’ Abroad Ltd, especially the difference between volunteering in Indonesia and U.K.
In the U.K, there is a volunteering organization which concerns to help people in poor countries. They help to create local employment wherever they send volunteers. The founder, Dr. peter Slowe explained in the annual report on 2007 that last year, they made a major achievement and they channeled into less developed countries the energy, skills and commitment of some 3,500 volunteers, they reached over £3,000,000, doubled by the amount that volunteers spend personally while they are abroad.
First, I’m going to explain the how this organization works. This organization help volunteers in handling the accommodation to their country destination. So, they arrange prices how much the volunteer should pay for their trip and safety in the country destination. However, by paying this administration matter, the volunteer can also helps to develop the volunteering program.
Second, the reasons why there are so many volunteers want to do this project. Being a volunteer outside the country is not easy as it seems. They have to make a great effort before they can help other people in outside their country. Even though they have to pay high for their accommodation, but they still have spirit to help people. Their spirit is more than the native citizen of their destination country; they are more concern than them. Their projects mostly are in education and health field. They help kids to learn English and some basic knowledge like math and reading. They also share how to make a good and healthy living in limited condition of the poor people.
While in Indonesia, there is no such kind of organization which concerns to send volunteers abroad. We are lack of volunteering organization. There are some, which concerns to poor people and kids in Indonesia, but those organizations do not really work as a non-profit organization. Some of them, they just work for receiving fund from the government, but this fund never been realized to help people. Beside, there are only limited people who are really concern about poor people and unlucky people/kids.
Next, almost nobody do not interesting in volunteering program in our country, moreover going abroad to help people in Africa perhaps. It is hard to help people here, the question that might come up to most of us is : why should we help people in Africa if our country is as worst as there? We can not even help our society, so it would be useless to help people outside Indonesia. In fact, there are still few people who concerns about helping people, who established few volunteering organizations.
Generally speaking, I just want to tell you that we should feel ashamed with people outside Indonesia, if we have not been a volunteer yet to help our society. Thank you for your attention.
