Photo of the Day | Thirst for Learning
One of the biggest complaints that teachers in the United States have about their profession is student apathy. We arrived early in Nichnamtic and hadn’t been there more than five minutes when this volunteer found herself surrounded by children asking her to teach them English. Well, the school teacher in her kicked in and she agreed to give an impromptu short lesson. Many of the kids rushed to get pen and paper so they could take notes. It is so good to see that some people still have a thirst for knowledge.















In 2011 Jonathan Look decided change his life and pursue adventures instead of comfort and possessions. His goal is to travel the world; one country at a time, one year at a time. To accomplish this he packed up what little he saw as necessities and headed out. His goal is to spend ten years discovering new places, meeting new people and taking the time to learn about them, their values and their place on this tiny planet.
He embraces the philosophy that says a person is the sum of their experiences and rejects the fraud of modern consumerism that makes people into slaves of their consumption. He doesn't intend to be modern day ascetic, just more mindful of his place in the world and to make decisions according to that new standard.
