What is our Overseas Volunteer Project?
We commit to engaging overseas volunteers to leave lasting impacts in their host communities by sharing their technical expertise and creating income generating activities and educational opportunities. Our volunteer project provides volunteer consulting, information of host country, and support volunteers to adjust into their new environment. Upon the completion of their volunteer activities, we encourage participants to use their newfound experience and knowledge and give back to their own communities at home.
