My eye opening experience

I must state that I have volunteered in Ecuador and Jamaica through IVHQ and it has been an eye opening experience. I enjoyed the culture, speaking with the locals, and communicating with my roommates. I also enjoyed making an impact on the people who were less fortunate than me. When I arrived back to the United States, it made me appreciate everything that I had back home. There are people who do not have the basics. I encourage anyone who is interested in volunteering with IVHQ to do it, immerse yourself in the culture, and ask questions.
