New
Offices In Tanzania
Please
help us in welcoming our Tanzania team into
their new offices in Arusha! After a frenzy of
last minute packing they settled down into their
new buildings in late April. The new offices are
located on two fertile green acres and bordered
by the Themi River and an old growth eucalyptus
forest to the east. The offices have an
incredible view to the west of Mt. Meru
(especially wonderful at night as the sun sets
over its majestic peak). The complex is
safeguarded by two night guards and contains the
administration offices, program coordinator and
director’s offices, reception room, a kitchen,
and trainers’ offices.

Thailand
Buddhist Immersion Program
With
GSC you can choose to volunteer with our
Buddhist Immersion Teaching English Program in
Rajburi Province, Thailand. The program takes
place within a beautifully landscaped 33-acre
park-like wat complex. The various marble
walkways, bridges and temples are speckled by
the brilliant orange-red robes of monks going
about their daily routines. Each morning you
will begin your day amid the blissful silence of
the wat as you prepare to teach English to
novice and senior monks as well as local
community members. In between your teaching
activities you will have the opportunity to
meditate and reflect by the cool still waters of
the meandering lakes and streams that frame the
vivid white marble temples on the complex
grounds.

Our
NEW HIV/AIDS and Drug Prevention Education and
Other Cambodia Programs
We
are very excited about the June launch of our
Cambodian HIV/AIDS and Drug Abuse Prevention
Education Program. Our program will be working
with secondary schools and local NGOs in and
around the beautiful and historic capitol city
of Phnom Penh. The program will build on the
best practices of our 15 years of HIV/AIDS
prevention education work in E. Africa and our
recent work in Thailand. While Cambodia has
reduced the incidence of HIV/AIDS in the adult
population, there is very little prevention
education being provided to youths. Local
schools and NGOs have asked us to add the drug
abuse prevention component to our work. We
already have several well qualified volunteers
registered for the program launching in June
including a registered nurse and an alumni of
our Tanzania program.
