Partir à l'étranger pour « aider » quelques semaines, en payant une agence : c'est le volontourisme. L'intention est souvent généreuse, mais le système est critiqué : des bénévoles sans qualification construisent des écoles ou enseignent sans formation, prennent parfois des emplois aux habitants, et les séjours dans les orphelinats peuvent nuire aux enfants (attachements répétés, voire faux orphelinats). Conseils : choisir des projets éthiques, gérés par des locaux, utiles et de longue durée. Pour exprimer un regret : I should have... / I shouldn't have...

Mise en situation : le témoignage

Host : Last summer you volunteered in Africa for two weeks. How was it?

L'été dernier, tu as fait du bénévolat en Afrique pendant deux semaines. C'était comment ?

Emma : I loved meeting people, but now I have doubts. We built a wall at a school, but we had no experience.

J'ai adoré rencontrer des gens, mais maintenant j'ai des doutes. Nous avons construit un mur dans une école, mais nous n'avions aucune expérience.

Host : What happened?

Que s'est-il passé ?

Emma : Local builders had to rebuild it after we left! We took jobs from them, and it did more harm than good.

Des maçons locaux ont dû le reconstruire après notre départ ! Nous leur avons pris du travail, et ça a fait plus de mal que de bien.

Host : Would you do it again?

Tu le referais ?

Emma : Not in the same way. I should have chosen a project run by local people, where my skills were really useful.

Pas de la même façon. J'aurais dû choisir un projet géré par des habitants, où mes compétences étaient vraiment utiles.
