Making a Difference. College Volunteers Abroad

Description

This program highlights students doing volunteers work and engaged in service learning outside the United States - helping disabled children in southern France, teaching rural indigenous children high in the Andes Mountains of Ecuador, working in a hospital for women and children in rural Kenya, giving assistance in a Masai clinic while interning with a Masai healer, working with abandoned children in Guayaquil, Ecuador, and many other volunteers efforts. Focusing on three of the leading U.S based programs, this documentary offers an in-depth look at experiential education in an international context. Combining intense in-country classrooms experiences with local family homestays and community service or volunteer work, lasting from a semester to one year, students comment that these experiences often enable them to learn more in a few months than they have in their entire college careers.
