Visiting South Africa was a dream, and I couldn't turn it into reality in a better way than I did, because the volunteering project provided me a more complete vision of it. I was able to connect with amazing people, who showed me their culture and I learned a lot from the kids who I had the honour to play with at the Children's Hospital. I miss them every single day since I came back... Good Hope Studies provided me an excellent residence, and the social club activities are also great, because I got to know everything that I planned to and even more! I met incredible people and visited the most beautiful places I've ever been to. I can't wait to go back to Cape Town, because I truly feel that my heart belongs to this city.

More than I was expecting

My experience in Cape Town was definitely much more than I was expecting in many aspects. First of all, the people are very friendly and receptive all the time. The social activities offered by the school were fantastic and they were the best way of knowing more about the history of Cape Town as well as knowing more about the people, and a great way of visiting different places. The volunteer experience at Woodside Care Centre will be forever in my heart! I was lucky to have the chance of working in a place full of love and generosity with fantastic people around me. More than this, I had the chance of taking part in another volunteering project once a week "OBS Pasta Kitchen" was a very touching opportunity of meeting people, sharing experience, and helping to serve food to homeless people. Summarizing, the environment is beautiful, the vibration is fantastic, and the people are amazing! Cape Town will be always in my heart.
