sparrow Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Sounds really cool! Do you have recommendations for regions to request? I'd love to hear more about your experience with the program, if you'd like to share :D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybear Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 I am very interested in doing this. Do you know if you have to stay with one volunteer for the full two years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treestarfae Posted December 11, 2010 Author Share Posted December 11, 2010 I started it up a few months ago and they matched us with a married couple working in Albania. I don't know how they decide to match people. They asked me if I'd like to be matched with more volunteers. I'll come back and post some more about this. Gotta run.

NanceXToo Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 I just very briefly skimmed for now as I have to be out the door in ten minutes but it doesn't seem to be applicable to homeschoolers...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treestarfae Posted December 11, 2010 Author Share Posted December 11, 2010 If you are homeschooling you are a teacher. I had no problem getting matched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to hear more about your experience with the program, if you'd like to share :D. I didn't request a region. We are learning about the hardships and ways of life in certain areas. They have sent us lovely pictures and ask us educational questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since we are flexible we can stay on until the volunteers are finished. It may just be a school year for public teachers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sahamamama Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Thanks for the link! We just signed up and are looking forward to getting a match (hopefully in sub-Saharan Africa, hopefully a French-speaking nation). ;) Great link.

sparrow Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 We signed up. They contacted me because I didn't specify a region. I told them to just hook us up where they wanted. We're not fussy and look forward to learning about any culture/region. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
