Life Skills
Volunteers in this project work with students to determine their future projects and inspire them to be successful. Volunteers share their experiences in life and how they managed to achieve their goals and get over the challenges they faced during their life journey.
The aim of this project is to inspire and motivate students to be more engaged in their school and community in order to be able to make a difference.

GEM Volunteer testimonial:
Volunteering is one hell of an experience and I would take every opportunity I ever have to go again. You make friends, you experience so much, you learn so much and you just have fun. I will always recommend everyone to go because it builds character and makes you more aware of different cultures.
