Built a House

I helped build a home near San Ramon. The scenery was great, the location is in the valley referred to as the land of eternal Spring. The local staff weren't all great with English, so there was a language barrier for me, however one of my goals there was to learn more Spanish. The organization seemed a bit lacking sometimes which could be frustrating, but it all worked out. As far as formal volunteer organizations go, it was a lot cheaper than most others, and I had a great host for my homestay. You have weekends to travel around the country, which is cheap by bus. I felt safe the whole time on the project.
