GLA Dominican Republic Programs for Teens

My daughter returned absolutely glowing. She went to the DR, she wanted to stay there longer! She loved her mentors, loved everyone there, and made new friends. She said it was the best thing she has ever done!! And as a parent, the support was exceptional. This trip was my daughter’s first. Knowing how supported she was while there and how I was at home - I will not be nervous to send her or another one of my kids.

As a parent you do a lot of research into these types of trips/experiences before agreeing And then a whole lot more in the lead up to and then the actual event. I cannot commend GLA administration and support staff for the support they gave me, a UK based parent Nothing to much trouble. Daughter had fantastic time Daily blogs amazing No doubt she'll be asking to next year. I can think of no good reason to say no.

The medical brigades were the most rewarding because I felt like my participation was having a direct impact on people who needed medical help. I loved being able to interact and communicate in Spanish with them. After seeing the conditions of those who don’t have a lot, I realized I have the resources to be my best possible self and I shouldn’t take them for granted.
