However, now it is time for a change &#8211; my long-term career goal is to work in the non-profit sector, make a difference at least in a little way.<\/p>\n<p>Before attempting to find employment in this area, however, I came to the decision to volunteer abroad, join a humanitarian effort &#8211; and I feel rather strongly that I&#8217;m meant to go to <a href=\"https:\/\/travel.multifaceted-abnormal.net\/haiti\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/haiti.png\" target=\"new\">Haiti<\/a>, to offer my services to the people there in the aftermath of the earthquake.<\/p>\n<p>For this purpose I&#8217;ve signed up with the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.globalvolunteernetwork.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Global Volunteer Network<\/a> and plan to join their <a href=\"http:\/\/www.globalvolunteernetwork.org\/haiti\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Haiti program<\/a> in October 2010. I decided to do so because I feel it&#8217;s rather important to be part of a professionally run, stable project, especially in the uncertain circumstances in Haiti.<\/p>\n<p>And that&#8217;s why I need your help: Volunteers have to pay their own costs (flight, insurance, etc.) as well as the costs of the program (board &amp; lodging, project costs, etc.). I would very much like to go for 1-2 months, but this is rather stretching my personal savings, especially since I don&#8217;t have employment for the time after yet but will almost certainly earn less than in the finance sector. In addition I would love to be able to bring some donations straight into Haiti, to help where it&#8217;s needed most.<\/p>\n<p>Every little contribution would be great appreciated and I&#8217;d be incredibly grateful for your support in this adventure&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/inforeignparts.net\/haiti\/fundraising\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-5\" title=\"Evamaria goes to Haiti\" src=\"https:\/\/travel.multifaceted-abnormal.net\/haiti\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/eva-gvn-haiti.jpg\" alt=\"Evamaria goes to Haiti banner\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why, when, where&#8230; Some background info.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-26","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/travel.multifaceted-abnormal.net\/haiti\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/travel.multifaceted-abnormal.net\/haiti\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/travel.multifaceted-abnormal.net\/haiti\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/travel.multifaceted-abnormal.net\/haiti\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/travel.multifaceted-abnormal.net\/haiti\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/travel.multifaceted-abnormal.net\/haiti\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":59,"href":"https:\/\/travel.multifaceted-abnormal.net\/haiti\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26\/revisions\/59"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/travel.multifaceted-abnormal.net\/haiti\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/travel.multifaceted-abnormal.net\/haiti\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/travel.multifaceted-abnormal.net\/haiti\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
