Why I Joined: This group fits me perfectly. I desperately long to travel and want to learn everything I can about other cultures and languages. I want to connect with people who look at the world a completely different way than I do, to experience somewhere else.

Why I Joined: We really don't hear much about Burma on a day-to-day basis. Reading about the situation, I thought about how I felt reading about the war in Sudan several years ago. I wondered why more people didn't know.

Thank you for your reminder to vote for Invisible Children. Thank you for your genuine concern for people, especially the people of Northern Uganda. You actions make ripples that extend far :-)

Why I Joined: To absorb not just the sights, but the culture. That's what's really important about travelling. I want to make connections with the people I meet when I eventually get out into the world.
