http://www.pureworks.org

Pure Works exists for the benefit of orphans and widows. Pure Works visits and subsidizes existing and ongoing missions both domestically and in third-world countries with medicine, medical supplies, medical equipment, food, clothing, books and computers.

You can also join and follow other Pure Works groups, such as Pure Works Zambia, Pure Works Philippines, Pure Works African Shade (new), Pure Works Burundi, and coming soon Pure Works Chile.

We’re beginning to update them appropriately with pictures that date back to 1999. And, feel free to post a pic or note if you’ve been on one of the missions, too.

Every year we take the time to acknowledge the work and accomplishments of some very special Australians through the celebration of International Volunteer Day on December 5.

More than five million Australians engage in volunteer work each year, and they come from a wide variety of backgrounds which reflects the diversity of the nation. Senator Kate Lundy, Parliamentary Secretary for Immigration and Citizenship provides an introduction to the moving stories of Iven Spicer and Pat Wagner, who both play a critical role in helping some of Australia’s newest arrivals to successfully settle, gain access to services and participate effectively in the community through the department’s Integrated Humanitarian Settlement Strategy or IHSS.

I’m Alex Villarreal with the VOA Special English Education Report, from http://voaspecialenglish.com | http://facebook.com/voalearningenglish

Next year, the Peace Corps will celebrate its fiftieth anniversary. Peace Corps volunteers are Americans who teach and work on projects in developing countries. The United States created the Peace Corps during the cold war with the Soviet Union. Today, technology has changed how the volunteers do their work and stay connected with friends and family back home. In the early nineteen eighties, Gordy Mengel served in Zaire, now the Democratic Republic of Congo. Letters from home would take weeks, or months. As a result, he socialized more with people in the local community. He lost contact with friends and family back in the States. Today, Gordy Mengel is a Peace Corps programming and training officer in Rwanda.He says these days are different because of the Internet and cell phone service. When volunteers go back to their homes in villages, they can get on Skype or they give a quick call to Mom and Dad back at home. Sonia Morhange is one of about one hundred Peace Corps volunteers in Rwanda. She talks with a friend in California on Skype, an Internet calling service. She talks with her mother on the phone and e-mails her father. She says: “I can’t imagine having been a Peace Corps volunteer in the seventies or the eighties or even the early nineties. I’m just so used to everyone having a cell phone that works internationally. I’m very, very lucky in the fact that where I live I have wireless Internet and that makes it a lot easier.” Peace Corps volunteers receive a living allowance and other benefits in return for twenty-seven months of training and service. John Reddy is the country director in Rwanda. He says fairly easy access to the Internet means that volunteers can do more than just call home. They can research subjects to help their communities. And, through the Peace Corps Partnership Program, they can get donations online for their projects.But John Reddy admits he sometimes misses the old days, before the Internet and good phone service. He says volunteers had more independence then. You can comment on this story and find other Education Reports online at voaspecialenglish.com.
