Join Josh, Helene, and Guest Speakers at Get Lost Books this Evening!
Our last event at Get Lost Books was very popular and we're hoping to see as many people tonight for our Volunteer Abroad talk.
Here is what's planned for tonight:
Volunteer experience is a way to immerse oneself in a community while contributing ones’ time and skills.
- Josh Krist talks about his four months on a kibbutz in Israel.
- Gregg Buttensky went to the Philippines with the intention to do something, but he didn't know what until he arrived there. He helped locals start a library to make books accessible to those living in and around Numancia, Aklan on the island of Panay.
- Mona Nyandoro served as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Forestry, '94-'96. She spent two years on the tropical island nation of Sao Tome and Principe, off the coast of Gabon in Central Africa. Since the Peace Corps, she has been a team leader for the AmeriCorps NCCC in Washington, DC ('97-'98), led a group of college students to Tanzania (Summer '99) and to Brazil (Summer '01) for Operation Crossroads Africa, served as an Environmental Director for a YMCA summer camp ('97) and acted as a kitchen manager for a homeless shelter ('97). She been recruiting for the Peace Corps for the past 4 years out of the San Francisco Regional Office.
We'll have a Q&A session after our guest speakers.
See you tonight!
