As mentioned in my earlier post about the Global Health & Humanitarin Summit, I presented a session on “Volunteering Abroad – from a writer’s perspective” at the summit. My 20 minutes session focused on trends in volunteer vacationing, my personal experiences from my volunteer trips to Morocco and Russia and a perspective on some things I learned.

I also tried to include some resources and Q&A that people can take back.
The presentation was very well accepted and the audience was very engaged with my stories and pictures. They asked questions and wanted to know how to sign up for their next trip. I had several people come up to me after the event and tell me that I inpsired them to volunteer abroad.
Here are some comments I received by email…
“Thanks you for your EXCELLENT presentation. It was inspirational and filled with practical tips as well. Hope to see you next year or on one of our vacations!” – Susanne
“Thanks for your presentation, Sucheta. Your talk was very inspiring.” – Tom
“The Summit was amazing – and so glad that you were a part of it. Your presentation was very insightful, thought-provoking and left me inspired to check out this opportunity for myself. LOVE the Go Eat Give Movement!!” – Mitzi
