Tutor Children and Assist with Labor

Families living in scenic valleys and coastal communities await your helping hands. Work alongside children, adults and elders on basic, but critically important service projects. Our host partners seek help with broad-based economic and educational development to significantly improve local residents' quality of life. Long-term community plans call for an expanded market, improved health care facilities, and increased school resources.

Teach Classroom Subjects, Upgrade Community Buildings, and Assist with Health Care: Here's a place where individuals, groups and families can make a significant difference -- help children who struggle with much that we take for granted. Finish work on a health clinic, teach school subjects, or assist local leaders with hand washing and hygiene campaigns.
