DOING GOOD BY BEING GOOD​

Anyone choosing to serve in a foreign location knows that it is a daunting proposition. Far too often well-intentioned people decide to spend a week or two in an emerging country doing service with little to no understanding of the unintended negative consequences of their efforts. They believe they are doing good but unfortunately they end up hurting the people that they came to help by inadvertently damaging their social, economic, or environmental systems.

OUR MISSION:

to change lives through sustainable service.
