While the world will need international volunteers for a very long time, anyone interested in this pursuit should be extremely mindful of an issue of growing importance and prevalence. Community psychologists and social workers     1      a large tendency for international volunteers, who almost always come from developed countries, to think that they know what is best for the poor because of their “advanced stage of development.” All too often, the lesson is forgotten that local communities are     2      of making their own choices and deciding their future. Thus, program organizers are now implementing better forms of training to impress upon volunteers that they recognize and     3      the value of key members in the community. These members know best how to use resources and facilities to alleviate suffering among their people. The idea is not to supplant these members but to work in a team     4      led by them. One of the dark consequences of imposing one’s world view and assuming leadership     5      dependency on the part of those being served. Those working on the ground speak of the deep sense of fear and desperation when the international
volunteers leave. 

中譯

全世界長久以來總會需要國際志工, 而對這項服務有興趣的你, 應特別留意一個日趨重要且氾濫的問題. 社區心理學家及社工指出, 國際志工, 大多來自先進國家, 有種傾向會認為他們自知什麼對窮人最有利, 基於他們生活於高度發展水平之下. 常被忽略的課題是, 當地社區是有能力自決, 對未來做決斷. 有鑑於此, 計畫主導者現正實行更好的訓練方式, 要志工謹記去辨別並承認社區裡要員的價值. 這些成員最清楚如何善用資源與設施, 來減輕居民的痛苦. 主要目的非在取代這些要員, 而是在一個實質上被他們領導的團隊內合作. 強加某種世界觀並強取主導權, 造成的負面結果是, 加深對需要幫助的這群人的依賴度. 那些草根群眾, 在志工離開後, 對此顯出深深的恐懼與無助.
