What a rewarding experience

Working in the townships with the kids/project partners, meeting the GVI staff, and working with other volunteers. What a rewarding experience. It was well organized, sustainable, well-thought out, and I like your organization's goals.
The side trips were amazing

My most positive experiences were seeing the children progress and develop while I was there, the side trips were amazing and the people I met throughout my stay in South Africa were fantastic, life long friends.
Great experience!

Enjoyed meeting new people, becoming close friends and the overall "closeness" of living with others. Thoroughly enjoyed the happiness the children expressed. Its a great way to experience another culture and country as well as contributing to that culture.
