Indigenous women in the rural areas of Guatemala often lead tough lives marked by alcoholism, poverty, and depression. Trends like the erosion of native culture and racial discrimination have also negatively impacted indigenous women. Several social workers and social organizations within Guatemala have been working to provide basic economic, family and health education to rural women from local communities. Volunteers can make a difference in the lives and development of women by donating their time and expertise to ongoing social initiatives. These initiatives give women the tools to improve themselves and their family's economic and social conditions. 
Volunteers help shape young lives in Nepal by sharing their English skills and teaching talents. They teach English to elementary school children ranging in age from 6-13 years. Many schools lack the funds to provide effective English language training. Native or fluent English speakers with or without formal teaching experience can contribute greatly to a child's educational development. Volunteers teach school courses in collaboration with local English teachers. Volunteers are also encouraged to coordinate additional activities such as games, painting, and health education. Volunteers typically teach 2-3 hours a day for six days a week.

Recently, World Endeavors' Director and founder, Tom Peden, met someone very important. No, not George, or Hillary or Barack or John. He met the newly inaugurated president of Guatemala, Álvaro Colom. Tom spotted him in the airport on his way out of the country and being a good student of the world, he recognized President Colom. "I approached his security detail and asked if I could meet the president," Tom said. Tom was brought to the president and they chatted about the weather and World Endeavors' new programs in Guatemala. "He was very interested in our projects and was happy to invite volunteers from other countries to spend time in Guatemala helping its people and learning about the culture - he was a really nice, approachable guy." After a photo op and well wishes, each flew on to other destinations. You never know who you'll meet in an international airport.
