We have had some great guys sign up for programs last week, here is a little snap shot of what they will be doing and how they will be helping people in very different corners of the globe.
Joe will be flying out to Peru in a few months to an Indigenous village south of the Peruvian Andes. He will be working on a two week project helping to supply water to homes where supplies are scarce. The water provided helps with local agriculture, cooking and hygiene. Joe will leave a definite positive impact upon the families he works with for years to come.

Sarah is heading out to Kenya to work on a project that works with children affected by the HIV/AIDS crisis. Sarah will be working to help provide health care to a community of around 62,000 people and will work to provide respite through play to the children of the community. She will be working from Kikuyu Hospital and she will also be based out of local pre-schools.

We are very excited to hear from the first hand when they get out into the field.
