Volunteer Eco Students Abroad Meeting

Thank you for taking the time out today for our brief conversation regarding the VESA volunteer programs being offered to the students at University of Washington State. As discussed, VESA volunteers will be undertaking vital humanitarian work next summer in the Ecuadorian Amazon, Southern Africa and in the villages of Fiji.

Our volunteers will be involved in a variety of infrastructure projects for sanitation, fresh water  and food security. They will also assist in the education of the local children in simple English language skills and basic hygiene through games and through core material. Wildlife sanctuaries and refuges receive vital support through the work of our volunteers.

This is an incredible opportunity for students to travel this summer; to experience vibrant cultures and give something back to communities that urgently require assistance, to educate and to be educated in a challenging environment.

We are aware that we are not able to reach all the students whom may be interested in this opportunity and would greatly appreciate if you were able to cut and paste and forward the below email on to your student body. This contains information on our volunteer programs and our meeting times and places.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to email me and we can discuss it further.

Furthermore you can find more information on the VESA programs at www.vesabroad.com

Many thanks

VESA Team
