Review

I thoroughly enjoyed the eight weeks i spent with AMIGOS as a volunteer of the San Juan Project. I lived with a host family in a rural community and taught children's rights as well as facilitated a community and youth based initiative to institute a trash collection system. I learned so much about the culture, learning to dance, cook, and play dominoes and I made amazing friends. This was one of the best experiences of my life, I have gained greater self-confidence as well as cultural insight. My host community was incredibly safe; however, the weather was quite hot. Overall, I would strongly recommend this program.
