Get a firsthand look at the volunteer experience.

Maybe you want to understand what it's like to live and volunteer in Rwanda before you take your next trip, or maybe you want to see real examples of our work in action in Peru. Whatever the case, our blogs are a great place to stay up-to-date with our volunteer teams and current community projects. Team leaders and volunteer participants share their meaningful stories and post photos on each of our blog sites. Each country has a separate blog that is updated during current trips whenever Internet connections are available in their respective communities. Please note that not all volunteer teams write blog posts.
