Question

    Four students from National University have recently returned from Africa. For 10 weeks, they worked in Zimbabwe and Botswana as members of a program called Raleigh International.

Raleigh International, created in 1984, gives young people a chance to do volunteer work while experiencing other countries and their cultures. More than 30, 000 students from different countries have volunteered in a total of 40 countries.

Marisa Silvestri, 20, a business major(主修学生), traveled to Zimbabwe to work with a group. Their first project was helping farmers build electric fences(围栏)to keep elephants from destroying their crops. When elephants entered the village one night, the students joined farmers to drive them away and protect the fields. Silvestri's group also built small houses in the local style for tourists to stay in.

Saeed Mohammed, also 20 and an engineering major, joined another group in Zimbabwe. His group carried out a survey of health problems in several villages and taught children about good health habits. Mohammed said after the health lessons, the kids asked them questions about "everything else under the sun".

In Botswana, two 19-year-old students, Lakeishia Young and David Min, helped to build a meeting hall in a small village. Though they didn't face angry elephants, they said the building work was much harder than they expected, "It was a great learning experience," Young said.

After all the hard work, the four students found time for fun. They took boat trips, learned African dances and traveled together for a week after their program ended.
