The gift of presence is very important to us and the people we serve.  To Love a Child develops long term relationships--we love to watch the children grow and thrive!  Teams members are all volunteers and pay for their own travel expenses.  Missions vary from 7 to 14 days in length depending on the project and the location.  We need team members from all backgrounds that are willing to share their skills and expertise.  If you are interested in more information please contact us:  directoratTLC@aol.com.  Check out who has joined us previously.
