Expedition aim Once famous for blood diamonds and child soldiers this expedition sought to uncover the true nature of this West African enigma.

Even after convincing themselves, many graduates have trouble justifying to parents and other skeptics how working abroad will benefit them.

But Panama has 3 top children's charities that are doing an amazing job serving these children. Casa Esperanza - Rescuing the Children Most at Risk Nutrehogar: Visit Their Centers. Casa Esperanza.
