Motivation letter for voluntary work

Hi!

I am a 18-year-old girl fom Hungary.

I have written a motivation letter, because I would like to participate in a project (voluntary work).

I would be very grateful if someone could correct my mistakes, because my English isn't so good and I'm not sure that in this letter is everything alright.

Thank you very-very much!!!!

Dear Sir or Madam,



I am ****, a 18-year-old girl from ****. I am sitting for my final examination in May (at ****).

I would like to apply for participation as a volunteer in Ecumenical Diaconal Year Network before I go to university.

I think that this experience would provide me with a huge opportunity of having international exposure and multicultural perspective which is very important in our changing world.

Furthermore, I feel this program would mean a great deal for my professional and personal growth. It could help me enriching my culture and improving my English and/or German.

I am interested in social sciences and may be I will study them later and I find the experience in social work would be very useful for my university studies.

Besides this, I like studying foreign languages. In favour practicing my English and/or German I am ready to take language lessons in another language.

In addition, I think I am not prepared for going to university in September 2010. I have really good marks, but I would like to care for something that differs from the things I have done in my life till now and I would like to see myself, my faith and my future from a different aspect. I find the distance and the voluntary work could help me drafting answers.

To continue with, I would like to develop my personality and deep my relationship with God. I would like to recognize God’s plan and wish for my life and be a more patient, independent and steadfast person.

I think voluntary work is a fantastic manner in which I can learn how to help people in my environment in the best way.

Last but not least, I would like to see new places and get acquainted with another culture and society.

I find I can adjust easily to fit into any work environment and have no problem with working as part of a team.

I have some experience in work with kids, because I am an assisting leader in a youth group (young people between the age 12 and 16 years). I had with them two summer camps and we meet fast every week during the school year.

Moreover, I held sometimes Sunday school for pupils from primary school.

In 2004, I took part in a summer camp with the **** and after that I began to attend their youth group. Notwithstanding the distance from my home, I am very grateful to be a part of this community and I really cleave by them.

My other activities and interest include spending time twith my friends, reading, doing sports, listening to music, watching movies, etc..

I have a high interest in literature, history, foreign languages, philosophy and social sciences. Studying in the school was always important for me.

To sum up, I am eager to meet new challenges and find ways to grow as a person. I am ready to learn and I would be very grateful if you would give me a chance to contribute to this project.

I thank you for your time and hope for a positive response.

If you have any questions, please contract me via e-mail.

I look forward to your reply

Yours faithfully

****
