I want to tell you about a powerful and meaningful experience I had seven years ago. I had just finished my staj year teaching and had not found a job yet. My sister recommended me to try to get accepted to volunteer abroad in Nepal. At first I did not want to.
Tevel Bezedek (The world in Justice) is an organization that operates in Nepal and Africa and helps the locals there. They have programs in education, women, agriculture and youth. I, as you can imagine worked in education with wonderful teachers. I helped them build more diverse and interesting lesson plans; until then they had only taught English with the help of memorization.
