Yes, I recommend this program

Dogs are my passion

I’ve always been intrigued by Asian countries more so, Nepal was the only place that had a program specifically for dogs. Dogs are my passion. Im happy I did this program! I know this was an opportunity that I won’t get again in my life. It was a humbling and rewarding experience.
My host family was extremely kind. Though we couldn’t communicate much, everyone was very sweet & accommodating.
Doing it through A Broader view made planning very easy.
