Make a difference with adventure thrown in.

Who would have thought that you could work so hard yet have so much fun? I have been doing volunteer work for over 12 years with various agencies and can honestly rate GVI a 10 based on my experience. I have worked with them previously in Guatemala. They come through with everything that they promise and are true to their word.

Each project is carefully selected . I helped to construct a much needed water cistern for a community and school desperately in need of water. What I really like is that once completed the project success is put back into the hands of the community and they must work together to ensure that they monitor their water consumption each day so that all can benefit,

The work is hard and laborious . You get a chance to meet and interact with other like minded volunteers from other countries as well as share laughter and memories with the local people and children..

I have made new friends, been adopted by my home stay family, enjoyed the beauty of a new country and culture and learned how the borders of our countries that separate us can quickly dissolve...

I was physically and mentally challenged..I never dreamed I would be mountain biking down the side of a volcano nor have the opportunity to try guinea pig or llama..( I declined on the guinea pig)..

I can't wait to decide which program I will volunteer next,,
