• The program is aimed to provide the participants a view into the culture, traditions, and beliefs of a community on the other side of the world. The overarching goal is to return with a well rounded picture of the NGO, knowing and having participated in all aspects as best as possible

• The program introduces the participant to the daily life and daily challenges faced by the communities served by the NGOs in the hope to broaden the perspective of our youth participants.

• The program will introduce a culture of giving and sharing for a social cause.

• Understanding various issues faced by humans in the global community and how they are and can be addressed will be a big takeaway.

• The ability to be in harmony with nature and the environment for a social purpose will be introduced.

• Participants can see for themselves how simple common problems can be solved and can contribute to any solutions that might help to address the needs of the NGOs.

• Learning to use time and opportunities will be a key aspect of the program.

• Participants can share learning in areas of civic, science, and technology that can better the lives of the local community and share what they know about areas that they see can help. Just spending time in the environment and with the students will also be an opportunity to learn and share.

• Get connected and stay connected.

• This may encourage you to help and support the causes of NGOs at different times in your lives as your lifestyle and time permits.
