If you or a group of you are interested in a service-mission oriented trip, World Orphan Relief will be traveling to Mexico, and Zambia later this year. These trips can be as short as 4 days, and when traveling to Zambia, up to 2 weeks. There are also longer-term opportunities available in both locations to serve Orphans. Please inquire at info@worldorphanrelief.org.
