Incredible time
May 30, 2026by: Yisleiry Taveras - United StatesI loved my time here, they showed us the culture and we lived different local experiences from here. We had a good time during service and the people helping were really supportive and friendly. We got to walk around and try different food, as well our host was really nice and helpful.
Great!
May 30, 2026by: Westerlin De La Rosa - Dominican RepublicGreat opportunity, really enjoyed the experience. Would recommend it. Some things to change, but still great. It was very rewarding to help kids and community projects in Guatemala. As I said, excellent.
I loved getting to see and experience the culture here!
May 30, 2026by: Amari Aldeano-Shirer - United StatesI loved that we stayed with a host family because that way we get to experience what it is like to live here and get to know what people in Guatemala eat and do firsthand. I terms of service, I absolutely loved to work with kids and at the construction site because I feel as though got to see my progress in real time.
