Volunteering Overseas: the best method for creating new aid workers? | AID LEAP: "It wasn’t till several years later that I discovered Mary Anderson’s Do No Harm principles. Anderson’s principles focus on the impact of aid on conflict, but the idea that we should all be responsible for the consequences of our actions rings true for all those working in another country. However, this requires awareness, which young or inexperienced volunteers don’t always have. Very few of my fellow young volunteers would see any harm from what they did during their 3 months in Uganda or 2 weeks in Nepal. And most probably didn’t cause any harm. But did they help? Or was this purely a learning experience for them?"
