      It can be hard to get motivated to walk to class, but it’s always worth it.

    I hope you have fully recovered from the stomach bug. Thank you for explaining what goes into your volunteer teaching experience, the children look so happy. Teachers don’t get enough credit and respect for all that they do,

    It’s hard to tell who is enjoying this more the children, the younger volunteers, or you! It is great to see all you do and the joy from everyone. Keep up the great work!

    Tim, what a great post! While your blog captured the responsibilities of the volunteers, it was the pictures that captured the reasons and the responses for/to all of that hard work and dedication. The smiles, eagerness and camaraderie was so evident in your shots. I can’t wait to read/see more!
    Safe Travels, C
