Response from
Hello Katherine.
Thank you for taking the time to provide us feedback about your time in Argentina.
I’m sorry to hear that you weren’t satisfied with the daily tasks of the project. You opted for the care project which involves caring for younger children. To me it sounds like you’d be a fantastic match for one of our teaching projects which tends to be with older school students. I do appreciate your feedback; I have contacted our staff in Argentina who will ensure that your placement is reviewed in line with your feedback.
It was great to hear that you switched to the Human Rights project. We are continuing to help vulnerable groups of citizens in Argentina, in 2017 we helped 56 citizens gain National Identification Cards which helps them access vital public service both medical and social.
I’m sorry to hear that you felt cooped up at times. You were part of our fully supervised High School Special. It sounds like that you may have been better suited to one of our Flexi trips which is for volunteers wanting more independence. Nevertheless, you should not have felt cooped up and I have therefore raised this with the local staff to review the number of social activities and sightseeing opportunities.
It was warming to hear that you went to a traditional farm, had a cookout with the locals and visited the big city.
I understand your frustration with regards to the flight, I have passed on your concerns to our travel team. It does sound like you made the best out of the situation.
If you would like to contact me directly about your experience, please feel free to contact me on my email georgegreen@projects-abroad.org
Best Regards,
George.
