Your Help Is Critical
Volunteers energy and excitement is essential to bringing hope to the needy. Here are just a few crucial services volunteers can provide:

  • Teach English and vocational skills to disadvantaged communities
  • Educate disadvantaged areas about HIV/AIDS and Tuberculosis
  • Serve and encourage the elderly, the sick and the lonely
  • Teach & build relationships with abandoned children
  • Assist medical personnel in clinics and relief areas
  • Clean and repair homes, orphanages or clinics
  • Bandage the wounds of leprosy patients
  • Care for children dying of AIDs
  • Distribute food and clothing
  • Mentor inner city youth

What You Get in Return
Volunteers benefit in so many ways through service:

  • Strengthen your faith and become more like Christ as you live a life of sacrifice this summer
  • Grow in humility and unity toward people of great differences
  • Build leadership skills through serving and stewardship of the poor
  • Build relationship skills and team building skills through cooperating with service staff and other volunteers
  • Strengthen world views through seeing the needs of others
  • Create life-long memories and relationships with those you serve and those who serve beside you
  • Soften your heart as you see desperate needs and learn to love and give sacrificially.

These are just a few ways that volunteers both give and receive from service experiences. What you do here will last a lifetime and then some.
