If you have done work internationally, where and in what capacity?

I volunteered for a humanitarian organisation in Mexico for 6 months. I also worked for l'Arche (group homes for mentally and physically disabled individuals) in Spain. I have done short term projects with schools in the following countries: Burma/Thailand, Panama, and England.

If you are willing to volunteer, in what area(s):

curriculum development, translation

How did you hear about us and a few words why you want to join EBB:

I attended a workshop at the most recent QPAT conference. I believe that education opens doors and provides equal opportunities for all. I have experienced first hand how giving can be as enriching as receiving. Once you get the travel "bug" it does not let you go!
