Short Term Projects
 |
SoapBox is known for the quality of its Short-Term Projects, which serve some of the poorest countries in the world. Each year we give people the opportunity to give of themselves on one of these projects and every year, not only are the lives of those people who live at the project locations changed but the lives of the participants are also. We are particularly excited to be able to introduce several new projects in 2008, including a project in Kosova. We are also returning to many of the other projects that we have worked with in previous years where we know we are needed. A variety of 1, 2 and 3-week projects means that there is something to suit everyone. If you are age between 16-75, why not consider applying for one these life changing projects and you too can "make a difference." |
IMPORTANT! Soapbox is recognised by Global Connections as operating under the Code of Best Practice in Short-Term Mission 2007 and 2008. For those of you who are Facebook members, you might like to know that there are several active SoapBox related groups there.
