Keeping the Learning Going: Building a Sustainable Volunteer & Local Leadership Pipeline
When people think about volunteering abroad, they often picture the immediate impact: a classroom full of eager students, a community project coming to life, or a volunteer sharing skills and experiences with local learners. While these moments are important, the true measure of success for any education-focused nonprofit lies in what happens after a volunteer…

Voices from Our Community
The work that the One, Two...Tree! volunteers do is very valuable and interesting. They come to support our students' learning, especially in English, and it has been a very meaningful learning experience. Our students have learned a great deal.
This helps our students greatly as they move on to the next level, for example, when they begin lower secondary school. They already have a strong foundation in English, which is very helpful after they leave Xechivoy and continue their education at another school.
I would like to thank the One, Two, Tree organization for coming to support us. Thank you very much, and congratulations to all the volunteers for the excellent work they do!

I think that with the One, Two… Tree classes, we have an opportunity as students to learn English, meet new people, socialize, and learn about new cultures.
They also help me because I am learning English. I enjoy attending the classes, practicing with the volunteers, and making new friends.I think that all of this could also help me in my future.

Seeing the mission and impact of One, Two… Tree! has been extremely valuable. They do much more than teach English classes to our students. Through these classes, they also promote cultural exchange and help strengthen students' ability to learn a third language. It is rewarding to see our students become more confident and improve their English year after year.
As the director of Pachichaj school, and on behalf of our teachers and students, I would like to express our sincere gratitude to One, Two… Tree. We also thank every volunteer who chooses to join this meaningful mission. Their commitment is a tremendous source of support for our communities and helps bring us closer to the goal of providing a high-quality education for all
