Bring your friends and family and join Volunteer Expeditions on a celebration as we end 2010 and prepare for 2011. You will have the chance to give back, to contribute, and to make a difference. You'll get to meet families rebuilding their lives, dignitaries, experts in their fields, government officials working to make lives better, educators, craftsmen and numerous souls along this path who have the same core desires as you. You will get to live, breathe, work and experience an environment of love, empathy, giving back, and commitment, while experiencing the best part of being human - connecting with others. This is not simply an opportunity to help out, but a chance to learn both about yourself and about a fascinating community with a unique culture. This trip is designed as a inter-generational experience. Volunteers ages twelve and up are welcome and will be able to contribute. Bring your friends, family, and prepare to be inspired.
