Working
with Deaf Children
"I had a dream and to make those dreams
come true you have to have the right people on your side. I plan to
travel the world and volunteer with Deaf children and hopefully change
their world for the better. But as a dreamer you always have
disbelievers, but it only takes one believer to make that
dream come true. Her name is Ann and not only did she believe in me but
she gave me the belief in myself. The fee was a miniscule price to pay
for the service NGOabroad provided. The information she accumulated for
my list in a couple days is more than I have in 3 years as an ASL to
English Interpreter student
at George Brown College. Bless you Ann for
being an incredible person, for believing, for motivating, and for
making my dream a possibility. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
If it is ever possible for me to reciprocate your graciousness I will
with honor."

International Studies Graduate
"Ann,
Thank you! I've already sent a bunch of emails to US offices about
internships! Thank you sooo much, its awesome!! Thank you so
much for your advice and support. I am not sure what I am going to
do with myself once I graduate, but it is a significant comfort to
have more of my options laid out in front of me. I appreciate the
time and energy you put into creating lists of opportunities for
me. It is pretty amazing how, after speaking with me only once, you
put together a list that fits exactly with my goals."

Fundraising and Volunteer Management
Student
"NGOabroad is the best kept secret for anyone trying to find an
international paid job
in the nonprofit sector. As
a soon-to-be graduate, I contacted NGOabroad to help me find an
internship and paid work abroad as a professional fundraiser or
volunteer manager. Ann helped make the daunting task of researching
international NGO's and nonprofit organizations an efficient and less
intimidating process. I am very grateful to have come across this very
affordable and convenient service. I'd recommend NGOabroad to anyone
who's serious about accomplishing their goals to work or volunteer
abroad. Ann has valuable resources and insight to help people realize
their dreams. Thank you Ann, you truly are an angel and have opened
many doors of opportunity for me."

Psychology
"I came to Ann with nothing but an
idea, and 30 minutes later, I hung up the phone with a goal and a plan of
action. Ann takes you, wherever you are, with whatever you know and want to
do, and finds the best possible way for you to get there. Put simply, Ann
makes your dreams come true."

Social Work Internship
"When
I decided to do an international internship for my social work
degree I had no idea how time consuming the search would be.
Before contacting Ann at NGOabroad, I was overwhelmed by the
number of international NGOs. Ann and I discussed my experience
and my interest in working with women, particularly the
trafficking of women. The documents that Ann sent were both specific
and informative. These contacts have given me a starting point
for a journey I will never forget."

"The lists Ann provided were detailed and informative. They included
very important information about the safety of each nation, as well as
which nations were easier to adapt to. She included a wide variety of
volunteer opportunities. She developed lists that catered
to my interests & included everything from child care to
journalism; and volunteer programs in Canada so I could
help from home. Overall, her lists were very helpful and opened my
eyes to a world of volunteer opportunities that I never would have
known existed."

International Relations
"When I looked for a volunteer job by myself, it was a
series of disappointment; high cost on participating in a
project, out of my interest, and so forth. NGOabroad saved
me to get out of
that situation and helped me to find a way to make
my dream come true. I could never imagine that a
director of an
organization gives me a phone and hear what I want to do patiently,
which I found
fascinating about NGOabroad. Just a small courage to
contact this organization has given me significant
and incredible
experience! I appreciate for huge effort that Ann made for
me!" @@@@

Student: Neuro Science
"Ever since I was a little girl, I have always wanted to volunteer
overseas. In the past couple of years
I have done some quick searches via the internet looking for
organizations that can help me do that exact thing and I wasn't too
successful, until I came across NGOabroad website. It was almost too
perfect to be true, someone would compile a list that would cater to
my needs...WOW! And I am still amazed at the lists I received from
Ann. NGOabroad has put me one step closer to making my dream
of volunteering overseas come true."

Nursing
"As a nursing student who is about to graduate, I am
interested in working internationally. I have felt the need
to help out in third-world countries for several years now;
however, I did not know what programs were out there
or how to access them. NGOaAbroad helped me find jobs and
volunteer opportunities in the countries
I am interested
in. Now I have the information I need to go out into the
world and make a difference!
