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

I've heard about what TWB does and, being a teacher, I would like to look into participating in that work. As I am interested in different cultures and experiencing them, I think that it would be excellent to do so while teaching. Also, a lot of the countries that TWB works in do not necessarily have a solid education system- it would be a good opportunity to work with teachers in offering better education in these countries.
