Our standing committees are:
Education (always involving English teaching as requested by the villages we partner with)
Health (our 'medical' committee which focuses are basic health and sanitation needs, as well as question & answer sessions with our medical professionals)
Microenterprise (teaching small business lessons, setting up small loans & animal exchanges)
Vocational Training (teaching requested and common skills needed to set up a business or support a family)
Construction (we build everything from schools to medical clinics - in Vietnam we are building homes for the community's most needy residents)
Oral Histories (a part of our Cultural Exchange committee, these interactions help our U.S. students understand the lives of the people we are partnering with).
Even though each Youthlinc student (and mentor) has a primary area of focus and leadership, we feel it is important that every person does a little of everything, so that each person gets the big picture of international service.
Here is a working schedule of how that might happen, courtesy of one of our Vietnam Team Leaders, Justin Powell, who like ALL our just incredible Team Leaders, puts his all into the activities of our participants in-country. It gives you an idea of how hard our team members work! Thanks all!
