**Reflection questions:
Power, Privilege, and Perceptions
How do race and privilege impact how volunteers are received in different regions?
Would an African volunteer in Europe face different expectations compared to a Western volunteer in Africa?
Would European communities be open to receiving aid from African volunteers, or would there be resistance?
What does that say about power dynamics in volunteerism?
Does this shift in volunteerism reinforce or disrupt the White Savior Complex? Why?
How does the framing of African volunteers "helping" in Europe compare to Western narratives of development and aid?
