We believe in providing a real educational
experience through overseas experiential
learning. As such, we arrange trips for
schools and individuals to various
volunteer placements throughout Asia.
We have arranged a number of trips to
various work camps in China, India,
Indonesia, Japan, Mongolia, Nepal and
