Everything was well organized from beginning to end and as a first time traveler I feel very prepared every step of the way. I felt my experience was impactful as I was able to grow and make connections in the community I served.

Volunteering in a foreign country enables you to experience life as a local.

The local team was absolutely amazing.They oriented us to the culture, things to do, and always made sure we knew they were available in case we had any questions or concerns. The organization we worked was absolutely wonderful. Their work and contribution to the community was truly inspiring. I am glad I got to know and learn from the team! Volunteering in a foreign country enables you to experience life as a local. You get to experience a new city by living amongst, mingling with, and contributing to the locals. I have travelled a lot but this was, in my opinion, the best way to get a taste of day to day life in a new country.
