i've been thinking alot lately about how much i'd like to see some sort of global service community designed for families. i looked into the peace corps briefly when i was about 19, but was disappointed to learn that one of its main goals seems to be the americanization of other countries. plus, the peace corps is really designed for childless singles, so it wouldn't be an option for me even if i did think it was a worthwhile program.

so here's what i want: a program designed for families to spend time in other countries serving people in any way that they can. a network of mamas looking to expose their children to the world and make a difference at the same time! does anyone know of any programs like this that already exist? or has anyone ever wished for something similar? talk to me mamas, i really wish there was some way we could make this happen! i've been dreaming lately about what it would be like if we had an opportunity like this available to us, and it's making me sweat because i want to do it SO BADLY!
