Israel Multicultural Arts and English Summer Camps
These camps are located in the Druze city of Yanuh-Jat, nestled in the rolling
hills of the Upper Galilee region of Israel. The first session focuses on arts,
sports, and a general good time for the kids, while the English camp gives the
campers, who are year-round students of English, an opportunity to enhance their
education and strengthen their comprehension by interacting with volunteer leaders.

South Africa: Lion and Tiger Park Summer Opportunity
The Tiger and Lion project was founded 12 years ago to ensure the preservation
of African wildlife. Since the 1970′s the population of lions in Africa has decreased
by 80-90 percent, due to poaching, reduction of natural habitats, and disease.
One of the goals of the park is to breed strong and healthy animals that can
someday be released into the wild. Most work that is done by volunteers revolves
around one-on-one care of tiger and lion cubs and includes feeding, walking, and
cleaning the cubs, as well as assistance with research and and rehabilitation
programs.
