Editorial Reviews

This program highlights Americans engaged in a wide variety of volunteer efforts outside the United States--teaching English in rural Kenya, providing health care to poverty stricken mothers and children in Ecuador, working with street children in Tanzania, helping resolve the conflict between Protestants and Catholics in northern Ireland, teaching bio-intensive agriculture in East Africa, building houses in Uganda, teaching English in southern Italy, and many others. What motivates these volunteers to get involved? What do they get from their experience? What is their cultural impact? What problems do they encounter and how are these overcome? Making a Difference: American Volunteers Abroad looks at projects virtually any adult American can become involved in, whether they have only a two week vacation or can devote a year of their time. This program follows volunteers from a broad range of occupations who participate in efforts by four of the leading international volunteer organizations based in the United States.
