Perfect Summer

Volunteers for Peace made my summer amazing. I spent two weeks in rural farm in Eastern Ukraine. As part of a Experimental Archeology project, I worked with 14 others volunteers to build a Iron Age house with Iron Age tools (aka mostly my hands and a few axes)!

I really enjoying meeting the other volunteers, talking about their culture, learning their language, cooking food together and hanging out. We had a good mix of nationalities, genders, ages, and occupations.

One of the best things about Volunteers for Peace is the price. Unlike other volunteer organizations that charge an arm and a leg, Volunteers for Peace is always under $500 dollars. Volunteers for Peace also has the best staff in the world--they are extremely friendly, timely and competent. If you have a question or concern they are always around to help you.

If you are interested in volunteering anywhere in the world, Volunteers for Peace is really the only organization you should consider. I have volunteered with them twice and will continue for many years to come.
