Think about this:

• If you woke up this morning with more health than illness... you are more blessed than the million who will not survive this week.
• If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation...you are ahead of 500rn million people in the world.
• If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep...you are richer than 75% of this world.
• Ifrn you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish someplace you are among the top 8% of the worlds wealthy.
• If you can read this message, you are more blessed than over two billion people in the world that cannot read at all.

The children of the world need our skills, spirit, time and support. You too can make a difference. There is only one world - and we are all inrnthis together.

Volunteering can be an exciting, growing, enjoyable experience. It is truly gratifying to serve a cause, practice one's ideals, work with people, solve problems, see benefits, and know one had a hand in them.

Volunteering abroad can be both challenging and very rewarding. Itrntakes a special kind of person and not all are suited for it.The lack of home comforts and infrastructure that many fortunate people brought up in developed countries take for granted can be a strain for some.

There are many cultural aspects that you may find unreasonable and puzzling, that you will need to adapt to. The hosting countries of our programs have vastly different practices, attitudes, approaches to life, and language(s). There is the inevitable culture shock of living and working in a non-weste country which one can not really prepare for. If you see these new situations as exciting challenges to overcome, rather than barriers, you are on the right track for a successful volunteer program abroad.

Have you ever considered doing one thing during your life that would make a complete difference to a child less fortunate? Have you thought about volunteering – a week, a month or even a year – your time in an overseas orphanage or school? What might seem to you an insignificant amount of time means everything to a child with little – or nothing. If you answered yes tornany of these questions, a volunteer vacation may be just for you.
