The kids were so happy to receive their gifts
January 05, 2025by: Santiago RudloffProgram: South Africa - Cape Town Community ProjectsI think one of the most memorable experiences in South Africa with GoEco was the Christmas party at Sunshine. The kids were so happy to receive their gifts and I loved taking part in setting it up for them.
I will forever be grateful for a lot of things during the program
December 26, 2023by: BeatrizProgram: South Africa - Cape Town Community Projectsbeing with the kids was definitely the best part of the experience. I will forever be grateful for every affectionate look, for every genuine smile, for every hug that made me feel at home, for every kind word, for all the generosity and love I have received in the last few weeks.
It was an incredible experience!
December 03, 2023by: DarcyProgram: South Africa - Cape Town Community ProjectsIt is impossible to pick just one! But I was able to attend a traditional African church service on Heritage weekend; the opportunity came from the principal at the township school I worked with. Several volunteers went and it was an incredible experience!

I was inspired by my neighbors, who are originally from Cape Town, and they had told me about the amazing views and sweet children.
