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

I googled Teachers without borders because my sister is an engineer and was a part of Engineers without borders and I was interested in the outreaches she was a part of.

I became a teacher because I knew it was a degree I could use overseas. I would like more opportunites to share knowledge and experiences cross-culturally. I feel we have much to give as Canadians and even more to learn and take back.

I consent to receiving important information including news, publications and invitations to programs and events.
