Hear From Past Volunteers
David Wang
STEM Expert, 2023 Mission
"Teaching in Tibet was the most rewarding experience of my life. The students' enthusiasm for learning and the breathtaking landscape made every day special. I'm still in touch with many of my students and am amazed at their progress."
Lydia Chen
Documentary Photographer, 2023 Mission
"As a photographer, Tibet offered incredible visual opportunities, but what I didn't expect was how much I would learn from the students. Their perspective on science and their creative approaches to problem-solving gave me new insights into my own work."
