I love kids, and I wanted to do something that would make a difference in the lives of the kids who could really use some support so I chose this program. My memorable experience was seeing how passionate Danny, Alejandro, and Alexandra are about improving the lives of the children. Also, the week we did gender equality I was very impressed by how committed they are to teaching the kids values and encouraging them to think differently.

The opportunity to see the behind-the-scenes work of an NGO and volunteer for a good cause. Getting greeted warmly by the street kids every week we come back as it means they welcome us and what we do. Also, seeing them improved and progress every week is memorable.

IVHQ was cheap, and my friend showed me it, so I went for it! It was really remarkable putting smiles on kids' faces!
