42second summary of volunteer opportunities and achievements by i-to-i.

This video follows the accounts of two Americans and one Brit as they worked at a summer camp in China. The group teaches English to young Chinese children by a mix of games, lessons and singing. But, as they describe, the experience is much more than that.

One of the best things about meaningful travel with i-to-i is the variety of experiences and the array of countries which you can choose from. With over 500 projects in 23 countries, there is literally something for everyone. A common thread that runs through all of our projects is helping someone or something. Whether it’s the environment, an impoverished people or yourself, everyone gains something special.

i-to-i volunteers work with lion cubs in a South African lion park. While the volunteers work primarily with lions, they are also responsible for helping out with feeding other animals such as giraffes and warthogs. If they ever have a slow day, the full-time staff will often take them out into the park where the full grown lions reside, get out and play with them.

The idea that any child should have to support themselves while living on the street is a sad one. This video portrays the experience of two i-to-i volunteers that work at the Grandsons of Abraham center in Mombassa, Kenya. The house is a center for kids who do in fact essentially live on the streets.

Teaching in Honduras is truly a unique experience unto itself. This video is a montage of four different teachers and their students. While each teacher offers different anecdotes about what is and isn’t successful in lesson planning, they all concede there is an element of learning how to handle whatever gets thrown at you and how you develop the confidence to deal with it.

This video shows the seemingly endless number of opportunities to help out in Honduras with regards to nature conservancy. Volunteers help in a range of projects, from the famous botanical gardens of Honduras to iguana sanctuaries.

The Panda Conservation project is a unique way to see China that many tourists will never experience. In the majestic city of Xian, i-to-i volunteer David leads the video through his daily routine of working with the pandas. The conservatory has 10 cute pandas, which are waited on hand and foot by the caring staff and volunteer core.

This video is a day in the life of Andy, a TEFL (teaching English as a foreign language) teacher from i-to-i who lives on the grounds of a Buddhist Temple in Sri Lanka. Andy tells about what it's like as a TEFL instructor, as well as the culture and experiences he has outside of the classroom.
