Ladies & gentlemen,

Many have asked what the monthly stipend will be...it is $500 monthly, they would be responsible for your healthcare and all air travel during the course of your volunteer year... I know all this because i searched online and i have partook in a very similar programme 6 years ago.

Don't expect a job after the year if successful but it greatly enriches your CV for scholarships and NGOs + international jobs.

I got shortlisted for the next stage but i won't work on my motivational statements so as to enable others benefit from this. I just tried outta curiosity.

All the best!

Are you serious? When did you get the mail?

Okay. Thanks.

yes i am talking about the 1st mail..... Shortlisting means a list of a small number of people or things that have been selected from a larger group and are being considered to receive an award, to get a job, etc.....

Not all applicants got the 1st email, so.....

So people of the last group are likely to be chosen, right?

Because i have not done this particular programme before, i really can't be sure, regarding your question. From experience, if you are called for the next selection, means your application was successful. They don't have the time to invite you for a physical interview... my own thoughts.

All the best
