What is love? Is it somehing that Joshua and Stephanie share? Yes. Is it something that the two wish to share with all corners of the globe? More than anything in the world!

The couple have recently made a decision that could potentally change not only their own lives, but the lives of so many others! What is this decision you may ask? Let's get to know Josh and Steph a little bit before we continue...

Stephanie, with her degree in Archaeology, has always loved travelling and learning about other cultures. In her early years she developed a passion for volunteering and helping others. This passsion was intensified while she was earning her degree, through the numerous philanthropies her sorority participated in. With her love of travelling, learning about other cultures, and helping those in need, she needed to find a way to combine the three.

Joshua is a freelance graphic artist and an independent musician. He worked very hard at an early age for his father and eventually in retail, climbing the ladders to assistant manager and eventually store manager. After several years however, he realized that something was always missing from the satisfaction he received from claiming each position and he kept thinking to himself, there has to be more to my life than just this. Having not had an opportunity nor the funds to pursue an education at a collegiate level, he made a promise to himself that he would do whatever he could to ensure that others are not hindered by a lack of education.

So, what could the two of them do to fulfill all those dreams and needs? Teach English to underpriveleged children, of course! Its becoming more and more necessary for people to learn English in order to get ahead in this modern, English speaking world. By moving to Cambodia and China to help children learn English, Steph and Josh will be travelling, experiencing other cultures, and making sure these children have the best possible chance of succeeding and are able to pursue their own education and dreams. Helping others reach their goals is the most rewarding thing people can do with their lives. Steph and Josh want the chance to do so and this is why they are asking for your help to get to those children in need. They need your help in order to help the children become the best they can be.
