One of the best experiences of my life!

Most positive experiences were those of interacting with the children on the program, and becoming good friends with the other GVI volunteers. It was very rewarding to be able to interact with the children and feel that I was making a difference for them, even though it was not at first obvious how I would be doing so.

I had a great experience with the living conditions. The program project and goals set by staff prior to program were spot on.. I just wish the placement is more accessible with cheaper program fees.

I enjoyed meeting new people, how you were allowed to have fun and see other places as well as work, i really liked the accommodation and location and thought the organisation of GVI as a whole in Mexico was very efficient.
