All in all, I am VERY satisfied

Aug 7, 2018

This nonprofit was able to help me throughout my registration process. If I had any question they were quick to respond back. Even during my stay at Costa Rica, I was able to contact ABV quite easily over the chat/email/whatsapps. Overall my stay in Costa Rica was extremely nice. The coordinator was able to help me when I had an issue and took care of it properly and very fast. Abroaderview did a good job of finding a nice host family to stay with and provide me with all the information before I went to Costa Rica.
My accommodation was very nice. I felt like I was at home. I was able to freely access anything I want such as the T.V., food, etc. The meals were very well prepared, never got sick. I liked every food I ate, and it was different each day/meal. I felt very safe during my stay there. Security was least of my worries as there was never a moment where I was scared or felt unsafe.
I got to develop relationships with the senior people and the staff at my volunteer placement, it was a senior care center. Volunteer work varies from day to day but focuses on personal interactions and stimulation with the residents, feeding, therapy needs, as well as light maintenance jobs like sweeping, cleaning.
All in all, I am VERY satisfied with ABV and their efforts in order for my volunteering in CR to run smoothly.
