Volunteering is hardly a new thing for college students. But how about volunteering in Africa? 参与志愿者活动对于大学生们来说早已不是什么新鲜事了。但去非洲做志愿者呢? Of course this conjures up stereotypes such as shabby accommodation, unmade roads, malaria and huge expense. 当然,谈到这,相信很多人脑海中又会浮现出一些对非洲的固有成见,诸如破旧不堪的住所、未经修筑的道路,疟疾以及巨额开销等等。 With young Chinese's horizons expanding thanks to the country's deepening integration with the international community, volunteer work in Africa is gaining momentum. 随着中国同国际社会的不断融合,中国青年一代的视野也变得开阔起来;志愿者走进非洲活动发展迅速。 According to Guangzhou Association of Youth Volunteers, during a recruitment drive in March more than 650 students applied for 18 volunteer jobs in the Republic of Seychelles in Africa. 广州青年志愿者协会表示,在今年三月份举办的志愿者招募活动中,有650多名学生参与申请了赴非洲塞舌尔共和国的18个志愿工作机会。 "The number of college students applying to do volunteer work in Africa has increased over the years," said Yang Guang, a staff member of the Wuhan Youth League Committee. For Chinese volunteers their African experience can be rewarding. |
