So you’ve finished your graduation
and are looking for some meaningful work right before further education. This
is where the idea of working in an NGO can be a highly beneficial decision.
Unlike typical profitable businesses, an NGO in UK do not exist with expansion
and profitability at its main premise. So if you do wish to ever take up an
internship with an NGO, these are some of the benefits of it.
The best gratification:
Most jobs are run either by the
kind of work you do or the magnitude of remuneration you earn. In this case it
is the amount of difference that you will make in the lives of someone who is
less able, less fortunate, less developed or even less physically/mentally
equipped than you. The satisfaction of being able to make their lives a little
better with your efforts is priceless. An NGO could help with that.
Opening horizons:
Often, the daily pressures of life mean that in our quest
for personal and professional success, we end up overlooking our deserved
contributions back to the community around us. Being part of a cause such as a
centre for abuse victims or an NGO for children teaches us a lot about sections
of society that are highly oppressed. Such experiences not only make us
sensitive to people in general but also open up our minds to not just getting
serviced, but serving.
The bonus on paper:
To let schools and employers know that you’ve had experience
at an NGO in UK can do wonders for your job/educational prospects. This not
only speaks about your capability in working efficiently for something other
than money but shows that you are mindful of giving back to the society that
has raised and groomed you. With places as CRY to try a tenure at, it may just
be the soul-searching you need.
So stop
chasing pure applause and be part of a meaningful cause!
