Time Has Already Sprung Forward This Year. So Have GVI.
Global Vision International (GVI) are pleased to announce that a number of new programs are now running, including a unique opportunity in Laos, and the chance to change a life for the better in Mombasa, Kenya.
Boston, MA, May 02, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Ethical volunteering company, Global Vision International (GVI) is continuing an exciting year with new volunteer abroad programs recently announced for volunteer work in Asia and Africa. With the world so easily accessible with once far flung destinations now more or less a day away, combined with a growing conscience with the need for global environmental change and heightened desires to help others, volunteer holidays and work abroad programs are on the rise.
An experience and a culture a million miles from home can now be found in the ‘Land of a Million Elephants’. The Asian landlocked country of Laos is often remembered by the interactions with local people, whose kindness and welcoming spirit is arguably unmatched anywhere in the world. But now with Global Vision International (GVI), you can remember Laos for more reasons. Go where the normal traveler doesn’t, break from the norm and volunteer abroad on a truly unique project in this rare opportunity to work in a temple school, teaching English to novice Buddhist monks with Global Vision International in Laos.

Alternatively, volunteer abroad with children on the East African coastal city of Mombasa, Kenya. Based in the Olives Rehabilitation Centre in the Bombolulu slum, you will work alongside volunteer teachers offering free education, improving literacy, supporting counseling and raising awareness of HIV/AIDS and drugs. This community-based program is an opportunity to make a difference to the lives of children that would otherwise be marked with hunger, crime and violence.

As GVI regional director, Graham Corti talks of the childcare project above: “…both the children and the dedicated staff are defying their situation to build real opportunity. Just a few hours here can change your perspective on life and instill hope for the future.”
