What we are looking for…What we are looking for…
Dedication Passionate about volunteering Willing to open up to other cultures It is a privilege for us to be allowed into the homes
and communities of the places where we do service. In little time you will see that, though we went there to provide for people who we thought were “less fortunate,” it is we who come back having learned a lesson and gained from the experience. We are lucky to meet such amazing people and learn from their lives and their cultures.
We are looking for someone like… YOU!
