I am a participating member of the Virginia chapter of the National Association of Social Work. I enjoy traveling to developing nations and highlighting the domestic violence issues present there. On a regular basis, I voluntarily tutor adults and children who are learning English as a Second Language. Many of the participants have very limited grasps of the language, which requires using significant amounts of gestures and other forms of non-verbal communication.
