June 8 - August 20, 2010:I volunteered to teach English to the children of Burmese migrant workers in Thailand through GHRED, Grassroots Human Rights Education and Development. It was a fabulous and rewarding experience!

My Dhamma Giri meditation retreat in India in 2010 was a wonderful experience and I STRONGLY recommend anyone interested in meditation to try it. There's something positive to be gained from the experience. Read my blog about it!

I was supposed to volunteer in Nepal with the Nepal Volunteers Council in 2010, but it was actually a SCAM! Read my blog for all the details.

One of the reasons I decided to leave New York was to volunteer with the Elephant Nature Foundation in Northern Thailand. Although pushed back for the time being, I still plan on volunteering at the elephant sanctuary at some point in the near future!
