Don't think - go!

I spent six months in Latin America vounteering in several projects and countries and PEACE was absolutely one of the most impactful, best run, most harmonious I encountered.

This is a real community. You're part of it from the first day you get off the bus. The organisers are there every day, making change happen in a way that is practical, useful and most of all sustainable.

It never felt like I was working for a charity, it felt like I'd met a whole new bunch of friends and was able to lend a hand. Among the great days spent cooking lunches with the kids, teaching them to make chocolate and pumpkin cakes and hanging with the ladies, the absoulte highlight was digging over the little garden at the front of the house and planting vegetables there. When Nicole sent me an email with photos of the first lettuce and beets growing, I had tears in my eyes.

I still miss all the PEACE girls and boys every day. A lot of them are people I Facebook all the time even though I left them more than one year ago!

Go! Be part of it!
