    I (strangely) misunderstood the question, I thought you meant: If the government (in your home country/the US) gave you free housing and food in this country, then would you go live in a foreign country so you could do charity work? I said “No” because then I would be able to do charity and social work here (in the US) and not worry about starving/being homeless.

    I already did this, and it was one of the most invigorating, exciting and challenging things I’ve done in my life. I would totally recommend it. I also met many other people who did the same thing, from all different ages and backgrounds. In fact, the more professional experience you have (and patience) the more you could give back. Younger people (like myself at the time) tended to come with such huge expectations and little experience that that learned more than they were able to give. I ended up staying on much longer than the original 6 months!

    If you are a member of a team organizing fund raising events for a local community organization, you learn to work on a team toward a common goal. Once mastered, the ability to understand and fulfill your role and communicate effectively with others to accomplish a project stays with you. Being an effective member of a team is a learned skill that will benefit you in any position you hold, be it salaried or volunteer.
