This book is a first-hand account of volunteering overseas.Martin Thompson, an avid model aircraft flyer and Super Volunteer, recalls his first-hand experience volunteering overseas for the first time. A million miles away from volunteering along the Basingstoke Canal, Surrey Wildlife Trust and, of course, his local airfield, in this book, he tells the story of his ultimate volunteering experience, 3-months in a small Bangladeshi village, his first time travelling abroad!Sunny Bangladesh, home to the Bengal tiger, lush mangroves and the Ganges river, was more challenging than the 186-mile' Pembrokeshire Coast Path Walk', where Martin and two friends in support of the Alzheimer's Society climbed ascents steeper than Mount Everest. It is safe to say that volunteering in Bangladesh changed Martin's life in more ways than he could have ever imagined.Along with his fellow volunteers, Martin organised and ran training events for local people in tailoring, electronic repair, chicken farming, cattle welfare, digital literacy and business development skills. The events directly reached over 200 people, 41 of whom set up their businesses at the end of the program.In the truest sense of voluntary projects, Martin's Bangladesh project taught mastery in every life domain - mental, emotional, physical, financial, and spiritual. Bangladesh has become the home to many of Martin's dreams and disasters. The many trips to the hospital, the life-changing injury, theft, police confrontations and more are all told in Martin's uniquely humorous and self-deprecating style.Martin's message to every reader is, "We all have more to offer than we realise, so volunteer where you can!" A few hours at your local homeless shelter, a local litter pick, or providing support at your local NHS hospital will change your life and the lives of many others.
