Highlight of the Week
Get a Glimpse of October's CyberVolunteer:

While I might be laughed at if I were to wear a dowra surwal, Hajurbaa wears the clothing naturally and gracefully. "Where are you going today, Hajurbaa?" I ask. I ask him this question every morning, and always get the same response. "Going? I’m 104 years old! I’m not going anywhere. I’ll stay here."
-Steve Iams, Peace Corps Volunteer, Nepal and CyberVolunteer Participant
