should university students be required to do overseas volunteer work?

Many japanese students study abroad every year, but what about overseas volunteer work?
Japanese students seldom do volunteer work in japan or abroad.
University students should do overseas volunteer work.

There are two merits.
First, students can get job experiences before they get jobs.
they often imagine what kind of job they want to get, but it's difficult to know what exactly they do when they get jobs.
However, if they participate in volunteer work, they can know the real circumstances of it.
A participant who helped support refugees and immigrants in the USA says, "I realized that I only mind the name of the company or decency. I'd like to find the job I really want to get. It was good oppotunity to know what the job is."

Second, students can improve their communication skill.
No matter what country they go to, they have to speak english, so their english skill will improve.
Even if they cant speak local language, they can use english or body language.
Making themselves understood is very difficult and hard, but it makes them grow up.

However, there are also disadvantages of doing volunteer work abroad.
First, there are dangerous places.
Developimg countries require help, but these places are also dangerous.
The other day, an NGO staff member was killed in Afghanistan.
An NGO says, "it is no longer true that volunteer people are safe."
Even if students go there to help, it is possible foe them to be injured or killed.

Second, it's difficult for students to get used to new circumstances.
Food, customs, or view of lacaal people are fiddrent from Japan.
Also they may feel dtress because of thier job responsibility.
As a result, they may feel homesick.

There are surely some disadvantages, but university students should be required to do overseaas volunteer work.
They have a lot of time, so they should use it usefully.
They should grow up through volunteer work.
