AMIGOS is the best decision you will ever make

I lived in a community of 250 people outside of Paraguari with two other volunteers from the United States. We worked with the kids and community members every day: building latrines, planning fundraisers, and holding camps for the kids. My host family was the best, and I still keep in touch with them. Everyone always says that AMIGOS changed their life, and that holds true for me as well. This experience was so rewarding and wonderful. Working with youth leaders in Latin American communities shows you how similar we all are, no matter where we come from. I have continued to volunteer with AMIGOS ever since my first summer in Paraguay because it is where I feel the most at home, and where I feel that I can have an important impact on another person's life.
