You don't have to wait until you're abroad to start having fun with your volunteer project. While paying to volunteer might deter some people, the best way to think about it is like you are raising money for a certain cause, a cause that you'll be directly working towards.
Think of raising the money as part of the project; when you arrive you will see where your money went whether it's maintaining the volunteer accommodation, your food or paying the local staff, the money you pay to the project will be helping before you even arrive.
Learn as much as you can about the country, the volunteer project and what you'll be doing there- not only will this prepare you for when you arrive but also, seeing your enthusiasm will get other people about the project and want to help you out!
Many people choose to organise fundraising events to help them reach their targets and this really is a fantastic way to do it since, as well as getting the money for the volunteer project, you'll raise awareness about the company and the project itself.
