Featured Volunteer of the Month: Liz Pankey!

Beth

It is World Savvy’s privilege to highlight the work of Liz Pankey, our Volunteer of the Month. Liz played a critical role in getting the group of 30 U.S. students and 5 U.S. educators off the ground and all the way to Bangladesh. From logistics (just ask her about the ins and outs of satellite phones) to rich curriculum regarding cultural exchange, Liz is an unsung heroine who was instrumental in making this program a success. If only Liz could have come with us to Bangladesh… We wish her the best in her future work as Program Coordinator for Ayusa’s Study Abroad program. We know her new students will appreciate her wit, humor, and smile, and we thank her for bringing that cheer our way.

World Savvy offers a variety of both long-term and short-term volunteer opportunities. We offer trainings and orientations for all volunteer opportunities. For more information about volunteering, specific program needs or sharing your skills with World Savvy, contact sarah@worldsavvy.org .
