Teens Travel Abroad for Summer Service Project
August 23, 2009
While the youth that traveled with Alliance for Youth Service this summer set out to serve others, their parents were hoping the teens would learn some life lessons of their own in the process. This summer nearly 200 teens, ages 16 to 19, traveled from across the U.S. and Canada to countries including Tonga, Fiji and Peru.
The volunteers worked at El Girasol (Sunflower) Orphanage of The Sacred Valley, Peru, constructing an addition to the orphanage; created flushing toilet systems including septic tanks for homes in Fiji; and made an organic nursery and market for Tonga National Youth Congress.
