African American Volunteer in Spain

My volunteer experience in Spain was nothing short of amazing! The students and school that I assisted welcomed me and helped generate a new passion for helping the youth. Each day was different, and there were challenges, but I definitely received a greater appreciation for teachers while adapting to a new culture. My host family is what really made my experience what it was. Their hospitality and generosity has continued even now that I am back in the U.S. They were so loving and courteous throughout the duration of my stay that I did not want to leave. It is the people that make the experience, and I am so happy that I was fortunate to be placed in a home and town that was as inviting as Peñafiel.
