This Caribbean island in the West Indies is one of the world’s gems. But all that beauty also hides poverty, malnutrition and disease – a detriment to children’s brain development. Global Volunteers gives you the chance to change kids’ lives by participating in a demonstration project in Anse la Raye on the island’s western coast. You’ll work with community leaders, helping kids reach their full potential by boosting access to good nutrition, health care and education.
