Situatie

Je hebt een advertentie gevonden voor vrijwilligerswerk in Cambodja waar je interesse in hebt, maar je hebt extra informatie nodig. Je schrijft een email en verwerkt daar de volgende punten in.

1) Je verwijst naar de advertentie op het internet en zegt dat je graag meer informatie wenst. Je geeft aan dat het vrijwilligerswerk goed past bij de studie die je aan het doen bent.

2) De website geeft aan dat je minimaal 3 weken achter elkaar moet werken, maar geeft geen maximum aantal weken aan. Je bent van plan om een half jaar vrijwilligerswerk te doen en wil weten of dat mogelijk is

3) De website geeft aan dat ze op zoek zijn naar tweedejaars studenten, jij hebt net je eerste jaar afgerond en wil weten of je dan ook in aanmerking kan komen.

4) Je wilt graag meer weten over de huisvesting, de kosten en de faciliteiten.  

5) Sluit de brief op een gepaste wijze af.

Dear Sir/Madam,

 

 I am writing to you to enquire about the medical volunteering in Cambodia that has been advertised on your website. As a medical student, I would be very interested in participating in this program, and I would be grateful if you could give me some further details.

 Firstly, according to your website, there is a minimum duration of three weeks; however, the maximum duration of the programme is not mentioned. I would appreciate it if you could tell me whether it is possible to have extended stays, since I would like to work in one of your hospitals for a period of over six months.

 Secondly, you also inform that only students in their 2nd year of medical school can be accepted as volunteers. In my case, I have just finished my 1st year and I would like to know if I can already be considered a 2nd year student.

 Finally, I would appreciate some information about accommodation. Could you please tell me if volunteers are offered a room in a shared house? And if that is so, would you mind telling me if electricity, running water and WIFI are provided? 

I look forward to hearing from you.

 Yours faithfully,

Name
