On Volunteering


A recent letter from a volunteer in Peru, and fan of The Human Experience:

I just want to thank everyone at Grassroots Films for creating The Human Experience. I grew up in southern Jersey, but for the past three years I have been living, working and volunteering in Lima, Peru. I go back and forth every six months, with one suitcase filled with the few things that I might need. I honestly believe I would not be the person I am today if it was not for what I have experienced from living abroad. I don't have time or space to collect a ton of material things and I have learned to live that way... and at the same time, I have completely adapted to living in Peru. I have grown, matured, and prospered in that country and I have found beauty in every area that I have lived or traveled.

Peru

This letter just in from a college student who saw The Human Experience:


I talked with you in March when you came to Belmont University with the screening of The Human Experience. I asked you for help on getting a hold of Dr. Tony in Peru. With the address you gave me, I wrote to him and figured out a time to come and volunteer. Me, and the two other girls that were with me just booked our flight to Peru!! Thank you so much for your help, we're actually going!
Thank you to everyone who has been inspired to volunteer -- with Dr Tony in Peru, and across the globe!
