Evening Times: Gap year in Japan offer by charity
SCOTS volunteers are wanted to work in Red Cross hospitals in Japan.
The charity says it's a great chance for students on a gap year who have an interest in health care. Young women, aged 17-25, will undertake a variety of tasks, including assisting the nursing and medical teams. It's a "no-frills" assignment. Duties will include changing sheets, collecting meals and cleaning. Volunteers will fly out in March and stay for six months. They will have to pay a £900 fee, although free food and accommodation is on offer. The work is unpaid, although a small amount of pocket money will be given.
Visit www.gap.org.uk, call 0118 959 4914 or e-mail Vbaker@gap.org.uk


Some testimonials:
I just want to say to anyone who is considering doing a GAP placement in Japan - go for it! I have had the most amazing, eye-opening experience of my life. I worked in a Leonard Cheshire care home for mentally disabled residents and although the work was tough, it has proved to be the most rewarding thing I have ever done in my life and has to be my proudest achievement.

The wide range of duties that my GAP partner and I were asked to do included working in the nursery, helping out in the after school kids' club, assisting with the elderly programme and taking part in a number of residential children's camps. Every Monday and Friday we also enjoyed our Japanese lessons, which were always fun.

Basically we work as nursing assistants doing the basic jobs that only unqualified people can do. It can be quite boring, but it's easy and you get to chat to nurses and patients, so you make it interesting for yourself. As the only males around, apart from a few doctors who wander in now and again, it can be a LOT of fun. I mean for me, this is the first time in a female dominated workplace, and I enjoy it very, very much

If a male FG volunteer gets placed in a teaching hospital like the one I spent half of last year in, he may just wear out before the end of the "gap" year. More than 90% of the nurses were unmarried and they seem to be testing women's Viagra in the water coolers.:love2:
