I wish I could have stayed forever.

Bridging Gaps was the perfect program for me. They took out the stress of finding housing, an internship, and they provided the basic necessities for becoming acclimated to a new area. They also provided additional support during unforseen troubles, such as medical visits, flight issues, or safety concerns. I found my experience with the Bridging Gaps team excellent. Each member was super accommodating and compassionate. Also, the team is always looking to improve their services and asking for suggestions, which was so refreshing and speaks to the goals behind Bridging Gaps. Importantly, they also gave you space. As I transition from university life to full-on adulthood, I did not want someone to hold my hand the entire trip. Bridging Gaps doesn't, but they are always there when you need it. Basically, it was like having a family that lives close nearby. Cape Town, on its own, is fantastic. I promise you will not regret your experience with Bridging Gaps.
