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

Heard about TWB via the Teachers List. I am interested in international projects that seek to assist those who ask for assistance to improve the lives of those less fortunate. I am also convinced that these people know what they need and value being able to facilitate where possible.
