Tonight I went to an informational meeting with other people who really want to volunteer. Someone had even drove down from Wyoming just for this meeting. But there I was 20 mins late after the split minute decision to even go at all, and I'm so glad I did.
The story we heard tonight was about a woman who went to Vanuatu, a little collection of islands off of Australia. She had so much to tell us and her story was truly amazing. Imagine being stationed on an island where they speak hundreds of different languages and they are still under the government of a chief. Not to mention in a location where 8 active volcanoes surround you and there is a high chance of a cyclone talking out your power for weeks.
Anyway, I think the best part of the night was after when I talked to her about how I didn't know I I would qualify because I am studying theatre. She told me that if anything I would be more desirable and relatable because i could teach English with theatre, which almost every culture can have some tie too. Whether it be dance, music, art, or theatre performances performing arts can be very versatile!
After all was said and done, I was ready to fill out the application and go! Alas, I have to have a bachelors degree to teach English. But when I do... You better look out world!! ;)
