Learn more about Global Volunteers by determining whether the nine statements below are true or false. (And being the visual person that I am, I had to throw in photos for your — and my — entertainment.)
Global Volunteers:
- Serve only where they are invited.
- Work under the direction of local leaders.
- Help local people do what they have already decided they want done.
- Send teams of volunteers to each community several times a year, serving on five continents and the Pacific area.
- The fee Global Volunteers pay covers food, water, lodging, local transportation, program related and administrative expenses. They also pay for their flight/transportation to the country.

9. Many Global Volunteers get “hooked” and serve on additional programs.
And that, my friends (sisters and cousins to be exact) is the end of the contest questions!
