Publish blogs on our website about your experience, challenging questions of aid, poverty, the guest/host relationship, and all of the beauty you will no doubt uncover from immersing in a traditional community. Integrate what is found into a new life upon returning home, by conducting a capstone project in your own community with the help of First Things staff.
