While international volunteer programs may be incredible and once-in-a-lifetime opportunities, they also have their flaws. They can be costly and impractical because of the travel and time spent abroad, but also the ethics and value of work done have come under scrutiny in recent years for lack of main streaming of Migration Volunteering into UN and International Agencies, despite volunteers’ good intentions paid or not paid. However, in today global village, e-volunteering and in the current Covid 19 environment this concept meets the most valuable skills transferable that people can offer in global development organizations are not in-the-field but from the comfort of their own home in this Global Village.
Online volunteering can take on a complete variety of roles: translation, mentoring, writing project proposal, Report Writing and editing of documents, web design and advocacy, or even technological development.
There are numerous ways to e-volunteer can undertake specified activities while it fits around their schedule and without traveling abroad or within Country.
The concept also is most beneficial on South to South e-Volunteering - for example Somali Diaspora Volunteers ,Kenyan and Uganda's Agronomists offering their skills via Google Online/WhatsApp to ACDF Demonstration Farm in Somaliland - Somali person is Somaliland offering her or his time to teach Somali via Online to those in the Diaspora that is one example of e-Volunteering, the same is true for North to South Collaborations on e-Volunteering as outlined above.
