You can hear the voice recording for the diary.
今日はわたしが目指しているNPO法人、国境なき医師団が主催するトークイベントの録画映像を見た。
I watched a video of a talk show hosted by a nonprofit corporation, Doctors Without Borders, which is an organization I aspire to join in the future.
実際に派遣されている人の声が聞けるというので、出席を予定していたけど、時間があわず、不参加となってしまったものを録画をアーカイブで期間限定で配信してくれた。
The talk show featured an interview session with a member who worked in developing countries. I had initially planned to watch it live but couldn’t manage my time that day. Fortunately, they stored the video as a limited-time archive, so I was able to watch it later.
映像を見て感じたのは、NPOだけあって、収入はあまり期待できない模様。実際にパネラーとして登壇されていた方も、派遣活動と短期バイトを繰り返している、と言っていた。
After watching the video, I realized that I shouldn’t expect the same annual income as in my current position because nonprofit organizations typically have lower salaries. The interviewee mentioned that she had to supplement her income by taking on part-time work.
さすがに、現状の年収は維持されないと思っていたけど、思っている以上の年収ダウンは覚悟しないといけないようである。なので、きちんと稼ぎ切ってからでないと転職は難しそう。
I understand that I won’t be able to maintain my current income level if I join their team. However, the income drop might be more significant than I initially thought, making it challenging to join them until I’m close to achieving my financial goals.
ただ、派遣される地域は、まず始めは、そこまで条件や環境が厳しいところではないところを選ばれるようなので、そこは少し安心した。動画を少し疑問を解決できた。
On the bright side, I learned that the conditions and environment in the areas where their teams are assigned are relatively accommodating at first. This revelation eased my concerns and gave me some peace of mind.
To be continued.
