Ilisa Experience

Once we arrived, we had a housing issue because two of our students did not show up. Because the host parents had already prepared their homes for us, we accommodated to the changes and had two students (girls) stay in homes by themselves instead of rooming together. It all ended up working out. The instruction by Helen and her other partner was excellent. I personally enjoyed having her assistance. Catarina Campos was the best city guide we had the entire trip. The young male guide was not the greatest. He rushed through a lot of the sites and wasn't very helpful. We hit a few problems (curriculum-wise) in the beginning arriving to the schools, but we all were flexible and worked it out. We definitely didn't want to leave by the end of the week. They made a lasting impression on us!
