Poland summer camp at Reymontowka
September 14, 2016by: Stephen Fox - United StatesWhere else can one travel to a new country and enjoy the sound of youth wanting to learn the English language. I was totally amazed at the competency of these youth who really wanted to learn. A country setting where you enjoy the real outdoors, with plenty of activity and a staff providing extra activities and a a farewell program for their parents. For me personally I will do it again if the cards fall in the right order
My Vietnam experience
December 03, 2016by: Cyclotreker - United StatesI helped with blind students trying to learn some English for their clients. The students were very appreciative. I also worked in the high school where students were learning English. I think both cases the need for English was evident.
Volunteering in China with Global Volunteers
December 05, 2016by: Donald J MacDonald - United StatesI have been on 7 programs in China(5 of them in Xi'An) with Global Volunteers. They all provided me with a valuable insight on the people of the areas I visited (I still have contacts from these trips).The programs were all expertly organized by the GV organization in Minneapolis the local China Country manager Ms. Wang Baoli. I found the students at the schools I worked at very enthusiastic learners and were a pleasure to work with.
