Teach Peace is an amazing organization that allows volunteers to deepen their knowledge about the world and inspires them to work toward change. Going to Liberia with Teach Peace was beyond amazing. My perspective on the world and life has changed in a very positive way. An experience like this cannot be explained in a matter of words, it is not until you witness Liberia with Teach Peace that you truly understand the amazingness of this organization. The people you meet will change your life. I can't wait to go back.

Never before have I ever been so inspired by such an amazing group of people. I was lucky to spend valuable time with spirited and bright children. They taught me more than I have ever learned in a classroom. My experience opened my eyes and changed my perspective on life, not only while in Africa. I never believed that in such a short period of time the entire way I live could be so greatly impacted. I can't wait to return and continue to grow as a person.

My visit to the Liberia Mission and surrounding villages demonstrated how providing people with basic opportunities can help break the cycle of extreme poverty and instill a sense of dignity and hope for a better future. This experience as a Teach Peace volunteer was truly an education that opened my eyes and warmed my heart more than I could have ever imagined!

It was truly an amazing, eye opening experience that has changed my life. I am extremely blessed to have been a part of this mission and look forward to future participation.

I am so thankful that I had the opportunity to go to Liberia with the Teach Peace organization. The trip was so well organized that we were able to participate in multiple worthwhile projects, including a medical mission, delivery of wheelchairs, delivery of seeds and animals, and activities with the children in a short period of time. The trip far exceeded my expectations from spiritual, educational and experiential perspectives and I look forward to working with this organization in the future.

I recently had the chance to see firsthand the work that Teach Peace is doing with people in Liberia.  I was truly impressed by the love and dignity this organization shows to the poorest of God's children while attending to their most basic needs for food, water, and education.  I am humbled to have had a tiny part in their astoundingly good works.

Recently I participated in a volunteer trip to Africa hosted by "Teach Peace" and David Dionisi. The trip was to two of the very poorest countries in Africa: Liberia (in West Africa and Ethiopia in Eastern Africa). We participated in providing several types of assistance, such as "seed stock" consisting of goats, chickens, and vegetable seeds, emergency food, scholarships, medicine and medical check-ups.  Teach Peace has a very important on-the-ground program in Liberia to assist disabled children living in rural areas. These children and their extremely poverty-stricken families are in need of food and the most basic of necessities. I am an "almost Senior Citizen", however, we had a majority of women and men who were college-age on this trip. Many of the Teach Peace young people experienced a real eye-opener in providing service to such poverty-stricken disabled youngsters. Everyone was fortunate to learn about these two countries and felt rewarded that we were able to help so many people.  Thank you Teach Peace for this opportunity!
