Question:
You live in an English speaking country and you want to do some voluntary, unpaid work
in a developing country. Write a letter to a company called Cultural Expeditions,
which organizes such trips.
In your letter:
- Explain why you want to do the voluntary work.
- State what your skills and experience are.
- Indicate where you would like to volunteer and for how long.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to express my interest in working as a volunteer in a third world country. My name is Vitor Machado, and recently I saw an advertisement published by your company, Cultural Expeditions, in a local newspaper, informing citizens to send a letter in case of interest.
I truly appreciate working as a volunteer. I spent two years living in Uganda, and I saw poverty, starvation and human suffering with my own eyes. Since then I have been working as a volunteer, helping to alleviate these worrisome problems. I have a large work experience in the education area. I worked as a primary school and kindergarten teacher for three years. Moreover, I helped to organize charity events in my hometown to raise money to buy food to homeless people. I am very friendly, and I can establish good rapport with children and adults extremely quickly, what helps my work.
I would be grateful if you could find a volunteer job for me in an African country. Perhaps South Africa or Congo. I really believe that I can help to improve children's lives of this continent. I am taking a year off of my current job and studies, therefore I have an entire year available to live and work abroad. I would appreciate if you could find a job that lasts no more than a year.
Please, write me back at the earliest convenience. I look forward to receiving your response.
Yours faithfully,
Vitor Machado
