I was filled with both fear and anticipation as I arrived at a boarding school just outside Kiev in Ukraine last summer. Not only was I the only Englishman on this Eastern European Outreach ten day summer camp for 116 at risk children, but I was the only Westerner there at all.
I had felt the challenge to come after Jeff Thompson director of Eastern European Outreach told me they needed team members for the camps.
Make plans now if you are a high school senior or above to spend 8 weeks this summer working with EEO. You will receive hands on experience "behind the scenes" working with our staff in Kiev to prepare for the arrival of the summer teams. Internships require you to pay your travel costs and $400 for every two weeks. Minimum one month.
