Many Canadians are looking for voluntary work outside Canada and they think of Europe as one of the best options to do voluntary work. Germany specifically is the best option to look for volunteer programs for Canadians. The flow of refugees in the recent four years made Germany the best place for Canadians who are interested in volunteer programs.
How has the flow of refugees has created volunteer programs for Canadians in Germany?
Refugees who come from many countries in the world and reside in Germany were a big challenge to the German government, and German people split into two groups. The first group which supports and welcomes the refugees in Germany, and the second group, which thinks that refugees must go back to their home countries and not live on the German peoples tax payments.
The existence of the refugees has created many volunteer opportunities to those who want to help and give a hand to those in need. The refugees in Germany have witnessed racism and criticism from some Germans who are against the idea of having them here. This situation has created many volunteer programs for Canadians and for others in Germany to do voluntary work, to help the refugees adapt to the life in Germany and be more educated. Most of the refugees who come from Syria, for example, do not have enough knowledge about how life in western countries is, and need to develop more skills to be capable to work and be a better person in German society.
