Our Three-week Adventure in Xi’an

In April, we spent three weeks in Xi’an, China, teaching conversational English. David and the rest of the group were at Goa Xin No. 2 School, a new (2006) facility with 1, 200 students in grades 1-9. English instruction begins in grade 1, so after a few years the students are fairly proficient in reading […]

Choose China for a Challenge

Ready for the “Adventure of a Lifetime?” I recommend Kunming, China with Global Volunteers! Working with the English teachers in the Kunming Global Volunteers program last year reminded me of the time very many years ago when I was a student teacher and a first and second year teacher.

Grandmother and Grandson Expand Compassion Together Through Volunteerism

Mother and children participate on the RCP program in Ipalamwa, Tanzania

One of the greatest benefits of serving others is the perspective you obtain about your own place in the world.  More and more, grandparents are enabling their grandchildren to travel with them to serve in developing communities to understand how we’re all connected, but live very different lives.  In this snapshot, Kathryn and Chris shared […]
