Christmas in Nepal

Christmas was introduced to the children of Joining Hands Nepal for the first time this year. They learned to sing "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" and each received a small gift wrapped in old newspaper. It was a simple and modest celebration, but one that brought much joy to the children, and further opened their minds and eyes to the bigger world that exists around them.

Welcome to ForWorld Thinking

Welcome to the new online home of ForWorld Thinking, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to cultural exchange and international volunteerism. We are excited to have a place to communicate with our supporters and inform people new to our work about our efforts. We want to emphasize this space over time as a place to share ideas and experiences of cultural exchange and international service work all over the world. We aim to create a new global community of individuals working to remove traditional barriers to the free flow of ideas and information across cultures and borders in order to build a better world for us all to share. We support local, innovative solutions to community problems in developing countries throughout the world. We partner with these foreign organizations to help them achieve their goals by harnessing the power of ideas coming together through our global community, but focused through the proper cultural lens and a strong local vision. Join our community and help us spread our vision of global collaboration, because this is our world, so let's make it better together!
