Hello, all–

My name is Simon Benko. Help support my mission to serve communities around the world.

What started as a trip to Los Angeles, became a 16-country trip around Europe, and has now become a worldwide calling to serve, support, and volunteer. All with just a single backpack and a big heart!

This month I am in Kyiv, Ukraine volunteering with an English school and helping revitalize local communities. Starting next month I will begin traveling through nearly a dozen countries across the Middle East.

Relationships are at the heart of everything I do. Your support will…

1. Help day-to-day expenses;

2. Be reinvested into families, projects, missions, and nonprofits;

3. Foster new relationships across communities;

4. Amplify stories worldwide.

No one day looks the same from the next, but one thing remains the same: being a humble servant to all. From teaching English in classrooms– to rebuilding communities– to developing outreach for creative centers and programs– to providing photography and digital services– I will be a volunteer of all trades.

God bless, and thank you all.
