Two months to remember

This is an exceptional programme run by some of the most caring and determined people in the world. Everyone I met, everyone I had the pleasure of working with were exceptional and half a year later I still miss them.

A bit about the programme, you are located in a small town called called Quespos in a building that while not very luxurious is now very safe. Monday is spent planning the weeks work, you are normally split into your groups and everyone is very helpful and supportive... even if your not very competent. From Tuesday to Friday your walk to project ( unless it is pouring with rain, in which case you'll get treated to a taxi ride). You spend about 3 hours a day on project, which doesn't sound much, but 20+ kids for 3 hours when it's 30+ degrees is not easy. It is however very rewarding. If you don't know Spanish you will have to take lessons which was also good fun. My teacher was a legend who didn't really speak any English... so we had a great time guessing what each other were saying! The weekends are your own and almost every weekend me and other volunteers went exploring. You can get almost anywhere by bus or by hiring a car, either is relatively inexpensive but I would recommend saveing up before you go if you want to explore all the country has to offer.

Overall... this was a fantastic programme and if I could... I would travel half the way around the world and do it all again.
