FIRST TIME VOLUNTEERING WITH IVHQ

Absolutely amazing experience. Got to stay with a great Mexican family who were supportive throughout the program. Made life long relationships with teachers and students at the volunteer program. Taught English, learned Spanish and came back to Canada more cultured and informed. Can't wait to volunteer again. Thanks Casa Hoy Mexico and thanks IVHQ!
