February 15, 2007 - ESCAPE TO THE REAL WORLD WITH i-to-i MEANINGFUL TRAVEL!
Denver, CO, February 14, 2007 – When it comes to job hunting, Kelly Ferguson has a secret weapon.
Two months teaching in a Kenyan classroom on an i-to-i volunteer adventure rounded out her resume and provided more ‘why do you want to be a teacher?’ anecdotes than she knows what to do with.
Ferguson, 22, an education major at Queen’s University in Canada, plans to become an elementary school teacher. Her experience in Mombasa, Kenya has left her ready to adapt to any classroom, and her cross-cultural experience makes her stand out in a crowd.
i-to-i, a meaningful travel provider, sends students to volunteer, intern and teach abroad. Trips are ideal for a one-week spring break getaway, a three month summer adventure, or anywhere in between.
Volunteers work on community development, conservation, teaching, building, media, healthcare and sports coaching projects and internships.
These can involve caring for those affected by the AIDS pandemic in South Africa, working with sea turtles in Costa Rica, or building homes for underprivileged families in Honduras.
In addition, i-to-i trains thousands of people each year to teach English as a foreign language (TEFL) and helps them find rewarding paid employment abroad.
“I can’t wait for the chance to go teach again,” said Ferguson. “No matter how different the culture or the approach to teaching, at the heart it’s just kids who want to learn.”
The hardest part is choosing where to go.
