As the reality TV crews roll in, lives are transformed at a pace that most of us wouldn\u2019t even dare to imagine. An ordinary woman with low self-esteem is given a full makeover \u2013 and in no time, she dazzles everyone with her radiant confidence. Next minute it is an entire family whose sorrows turn into tears of joy as they first enter their fully renovated home.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s inspiring to see positive changes, right? It\u2019s a pity that in the world of international volunteering witnessing impacts requires considerably more than a finger on the remote control. Luckily we do have Volunteers\u2019 Voices and this special issue on impacts of volunteering!<\/p>\n<p>And these impacts are definitely worth discussing. Here are at least three good reasons:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Modesty doesn\u2019t take you far. If you\u2019ve made a difference in somebody\u2019s life and learned valuable skills, why not let the world know?<\/li>\n<li>We need to make international volunteering even better! The combination volunteer plus hosting community does not automatically lead to positive impacts (it may even be the contrary sometimes). The guiding principle should always be common good, rather than self-interest.<\/li>\n<li>Better understanding takes team effort! The long lasting traces left by international volunteering are made up of series of tiny surprises; inner changes. Sometimes we are surprised and other times we surprise others. These changes cannot be captured in before and after pictures, so they must be put into words.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>But now, without further ado: read and get inspired!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6271 size-thumbnail\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Hanna-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Hanna Rajala\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Hanna Rajala<br \/>\nMember of the Maailmanvaihto board who volunteered in Bolivia in the season 2010\u201311<\/p>\n<h2>In the issue<\/h2>\n<p>3 P\u00e4\u00e4kirjoitus: Vaikutusten katsomo<br \/>\n5 Ajankohtaista<br \/>\nTeema: Vapaaehtoisty\u00f6n vaikuttavuus \/ There: Impact of Volunteering<br \/>\n&#8211; 8 Vapaaehtoisista kasvaa kansainv\u00e4lisi\u00e4 osaajia<br \/>\n&#8211; 12 Vapaaehtoisty\u00f6st\u00e4 intoa opiskeluun<br \/>\n&#8211; 15 Vapaaehtoisty\u00f6st\u00e4 oikeaan ty\u00f6h\u00f6n<br \/>\n&#8211; 18 Mit\u00e4 j\u00e4i k\u00e4teen?<br \/>\n&#8211; 20 Guillermo\u2019s Most Awesome Adventure<br \/>\n&#8211; 23 Working in Lyhty as an EVS volunteer<br \/>\n&#8211; 26 Vapaaehtoisty\u00f6st\u00e4 tukea kansainv\u00e4liselle uralle<br \/>\n&#8211; 29 N\u00e4k\u00f6kulma: L\u00f6ysin Meksikosta suomalaisuuteni<br \/>\n30 ICYE around the world: Evaluating in Denmark<br \/>\n32 Terveisi\u00e4 maailmalta palanneilta!<br \/>\n34 Mit\u00e4 sitten?<br \/>\n36 Tule mukaan toimintaan!<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/maailmanvaihto.fi\/aitiopaikalla-leirikeittiossa\/\">37 Aitiopaikalla leirikeitti\u00f6ss\u00e4<br \/>\n<\/a>39 Tapahtumakalenteri<br \/>\n37 Aitiopaikalla leirikeitti\u00f6ss\u00e4<br \/>\n39 Tapahtumakalenteri<\/p>\n<p>ISSN 2342-2629 (Painettu)<br \/>\nISSN 2342-2637 (Verkkojulkaisu)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Editorial: Impact watch As TV viewers we witness big and small miracles every day.
