Volunteer Abroad in Great Barrier Reef

Both leaders were great and had an amazing outlook on the trip and on everyone. They were always excited and thrilled to be working with us and had amazing and useful information. he service projects really gave us and understanding fir the rainforest in Kuranada. What's best about GoBeyond? The experiences and friends you make.

GoBeyond taught me on this trip that service doesn't always have to be some grand, life-changing experience that produces instant results. I really learned that sometimes the little things matter too and need to be paid attention to. Sometimes our actions and serice don't give off instant reqards: some things are gradual. It also taught me that everything I do counts toward something. Like cleaning/Washing pots seemed unimportant, but to [our partner organization] it mattered and helped keep things organized. From learning this, I feel like I'll appreciate the little things at home a bit more now. Like if someone does something for me, even if it's small and seems trivial, I'll still appreciate that action and kindness. Ill also try to help people as much as I can even if the help I'm giving doesn't seem like much. The service also showed me that simplicity can be good too. I don't always need technology or things like that - sometimes being down to earth and helping others can be all that you need.
