I do think that through your magazine the world is able to open up the borders of fear that restrict their travelling. Please find more on my mission on www.maasaiwarrior.com. May peace be with you.

I cannot suggest strongly enough that you take a look at Cross-Cultural Solutions (www.crossculturalsolutions.org). I have known about and supported this organization for over 15 years, and in fact just visited their home base in Rabat, Morocco. My daughter was ready to sign up on the spot, and I was just about ready to let her. We are planning to do something very much like what you describe in your post at their program in Trang, Thailand. They are an amazing organization with true heart AND courage. I urge you to make yourself a big cup of coffee and spend about an hour on their website. It's just the ticket for you, I think.

A group of skilled Canadian youths travels to Kingston, Jamaica to work with children in a very needy community known as Riverton. Participants stay in a very safe neighborhood of Kingston. While working in Riverton, the volunteers run a Leadership Program for boys and girls 15 years of age. The focus of the program brings 20 Riverton children to a camp setting outside Kingston, Jamaica where the Canadians offer their counseling skills at a 5-day Riverton Camp. This camp experience provides the children of Riverton with respite from the rigors of their daily life, a chance to be children, to swim, play and be involved in community and social conscience building activities. More importantly, the Riverton Camp gives these children, who have never previously left Riverton, a chance to broaden their horizons and to develop hope for a brighter future. We invite individuals with leadership or camp counseling skills to participate in the Riverton Camp in Jamaica this summer. Dates of trip: July 28 – August 7, 2008 Cost of trip: $1,850.00 all in (airfare, land transportation, food, accommodation) Participants traveling to Jamaica will need a valid Canadian passport.
