Fostering Commitment to International Development Through
Volunteer Work Programs for Students and Teachers

Kitasato University, Sagamihara, Japan

One way to achieve optimal use of development aid is to capitalize on the low-cost human resources through the humanitarian spirit found among student and teacher volunteers in developed nations. Effective programs that employ volunteer teacher trainers, student workers, and health care volunteers can bolster professional development of teacher and student work experience in local communities; thereby meeting part of people's basic needs in developing countries. Such low-cost, cooperative efforts can energize the professional and international work expertise of both the local native people and the visiting volunteers.

This presentation describes how three such programs had and are having a positive effect on developing education, health, and language programs by supporting three international development programs:  1) an in-service teacher training program in English language in rural Thailand, 2) building a community health service in rural West Africa, and 3) constructing homes for the economically disadvantaged in The Philippines. A short summary of the goals and logistics involved for the volunteers in three international development programs will be made. Guidelines for planning such programs, recruiting volunteers, and implementing a volunteer training program are outlined. Finally, ways to assist government offices, community welfare organizations, and schools to meet their manpower needs through cooperation with foreign education ministries, teacher training institutions, professional education organizations, and in tandem with committed individuals from developed countries are proposed.
