I thoroughly enjoyed the entirety of my experience
May 08, 2022by: CateProgram: Volunteer on Childcare Projects in MexicoI thoroughly enjoyed the entirety of my experience with GVI and recommend it to anyone and everyone. My expectations of the trip were different to what I received but if anything it made my time more authentic and unique and something I will never forgot. The staff are all amazing and I loved it so much!
Really worth it
June 19, 2021by: Paula Garcia Vilches - SpainProgram: Volunteer on Childcare Projects in MexicoMy experience with GVI in Mexico was completely unforgettable. I started doing the women's empowerment volunteering program but the project closed during my first two weeks which was a bit concerning at first. However, the staff on base really made a difference, they were super helpful, optimistic and positive and they helped me set up a new project where I was really happy. I truly felt like we were making a difference with the women in this new community where we did activities, presentations, english lessons... GVI really cares about making a positive and long-term impact in the communities where they work which was really important to me. The experience as a whole was amazing, the accomodation was way better than expected, Puerto Morelos is a quiet but beautiful seaside town to live in, the lifestyle on base was great and I met so many people from different countries that I hope I stay in contact with for a long time. Hopefully I'll be able to come back in the future.
Hey Paula, thanks for your review! I'm thrilled to hear you had such a positive experience with us and enjoyed your time on base as much as you did. We'd love to have you back on base sometime soon!
The staff are all amazing and I loved it so much!
