I am currently finalizing plans to take a group to Vietnam with Volunteers for Peace Vietnam. This is another first, and I believe the project will be really exciting; I anticipate that we will be building in a community in the north of the country. Registration is OPEN! Email me globalstaci@yahoo(dot)com. Team is limited to 8 volunteers. This will be an exciting chance to support a small village that is using sustainable tourism to fight poverty.

Founded in 2005, VPV aims to promote voluntary service as a means of cultural and educational exchange to as an approach to address social issues. VPV’s vision is a world of peace, where all people live together with mutual respect, equal opportunities to develop to their full potential and respect for the environment.
