"There was an instantaneous acceptance of us as family members. It is truly amazing what can be accomplished when there is a common focus with a group of people."

"I won' t take my work so seriously - nor myself. I may even have the courage to quit chasing the dollar and chase the adventure of living"
~ Janis Green, TX

"We came with the intention of teaching English to these beautiful children but we ended up discovering benefits for all that were far greater than this. Friendships were created in the spirit of tolerance and peace. We were humbled by the overwhelming kindness and care that was extended to us by the local people. We shared joy and laughter with our brothers and sisters halfway across the world and our most important work with the children was simply to offer them our love. I feel blessed to have met such beautiful human beings. It made me really consider how I am living and how my choices affect others."
~ Kristen Marx, RI

"Obviously none of these incredibly memorable experiences would ever have happened without Global Volunteers, the staff at Assisi Illam and Seam’s Children’s Home, Keith, Sarah, Sheeba and of course Stephen. I wish I could give them all what they have given me, but all I can do is say thank you. I doubt I will ever look at life the same again. This place has opened my eyes and there is no way they will ever close."
~ Chantal Hogue, Canadian Volunteer
