By volunteering their time, skills and services these students become valuableteachers among communities who welcome their knowledge. Often students continue to give oftheir time even after they arrive back in their academic institutions, often via electroniccommunications such as email, Skype or Facebook.The impact that these communities of scarce resources have had on the students who volunteernot only leaves students with a
