****Note on Passports: Generally, passports should have at least six months of validity when traveling internationally. Most countries will not permit a traveler to enter their country unless the passport is set to expire at least six months after the final day of travel. That means if your passport has less than six months remaining until the expiration date, you should renew it right away!

****Starting in 2017, we are requiring all team members to be active participants in our Scholarship Program. We emphasize our ministry partners spending time with their scholar-shipped child/children, as we believe this is very beneficial and rewarding for both the volunteers and our students.
