Summer 2008 Staff Picks - Volunteer Abroad Programs
Volunteer in Guatemala
We're very excited about our newest volunteer program- Volunteer in Guatemala! Our volunteers now have the chance to travel to one of the most beautiful countries in Latin America, as well as experience native culture and traditions. Participants can help in a number of different ways, including teaching English and other subjects, volunteering in an orphanage, providing health services and education, or unique projects like Indigenous Women's Assistance. We are especially in need of volunteers with Spanish speaking abilities, although of course there are ways for everyone to make a difference. Volunteers stay with host families and receive a personal introduction into Guatemalan daily life. Come with us to volunteer in Guatemala and you'll certainly never want to leave.

Volunteer in Thailand
Volunteering in the "Land of the Smiling People" (Thailand) is one of the most unique options we have. The friendliness of the Thai people is rivaled only by their country's stunning landscape of sandy beaches and misty mountains. Better yet, you're not just a tourist with World Endeavors. By volunteering, staying with a host family, and taking languages classes, you can become a part of this exciting culture.

Summer 2008 Staff Picks - Study Abroad Programs
Study in France
We love this program because of the incredible location, the quality of the teaching and the flexible dates. Our summer study abroad program in France is located in the city of Angers, in the region of Anjou in northwestern France. This city is famous for its flowers, stately châteaux, and of course for the quality of life. The French spoken by the locals is considered to be incredibly 'pure' making it an excellent place to learn the language, especially when coupled with our intensive summer session. Our program in France is an excellent chance to improve your language skills while enjoying all the pleasures of the authentic French lifestyle!

Study Abroad in Spain
Spain has many faces; the culture and dialect of the regions are as varied as its people. And with World Endeavors, you have the option of studying in the tropical southern city of Seville, home of flamenco, or in Valladolid in Spain's rustic northern interior. We couldn't decide which city we liked best, so we'll leave that up to you. Both programs offer an incredible way to study the Spanish language and culture. Join us this summer in Spain.

Our program in China is designed for students of all levels: advanced, intermediate and beginning Mandarin Chinese students. Even if you've never taken a class in Chinese before, you'll receive individualized attention in both spoken and written Chinese and enjoy the comforts of a modern university campus. The program takes place in Yantai, a safe and accessible city along the northwest coast of China.

Testimonials
"The greatest benefit of my experience was the exposure to new animals, nature, activities and most importantly people. I gained so much from conversing and traveling with people who were different than anyone I have ever met. I know they have made an impression on me and I like to think I did the same for them. As for the challenges, I had to deal with some undesirable situations like illness and problems traveling. But, World Endeavors was very helpful and helped me get through everything!"
--Emily Keenan, Volunteer Costa Rica
"I thought [the program] was very well organized, with the perfect amount of support and independence that a young traveler and volunteer would need."
--Nessa Norich, Volunteer Costa Rica
"The greatest benefits I had were the friends I made from all over the world, the numerous activities to explore the culture, learning a new language, gaining the experience I wanted, living my dream, and growing as a more well-rounded, independent person."
--Cindy Wong, Intern Italy
"This experience will influence my academic, career, and life decisions… This experience has taught me to take advantage of life's teachings and gifts. Also, my trip abroad emphasized the importance of learning from day to day and living each day to the fullest."
