Being a volunteer is an amazing life changing experience. Raising the required amount gets you on the trip - It’s amazing once you start to fundraise how many people will come on board to help you, family friends, work etc.
We have a serious mission to assist the children of Lebanon and this means that every volunteer has to take the goal of the trip seriously.
It will be hard work fundraising for this goal but it will also be great fun with fantastic spirit and good humour. The incentive for our fundraising will be the satisfaction of a first hand visit to the School where your labour and efforts will be rewarded when you see the results in the eyes of the students.
