Mixed bag

I had an excellent experience with the VFP office - they were helpful, responsive, and friendly. My service project in India ended up being with a for-profit organization instead of a community non-profit, as I had initially thought. The director of the organization was imperious (for example, expecting 10-12hr work days, 6-7 days a week) and was more interested in using my status as a foreigner for PR than for my actual ability to contribute ideas and assistance to his projects.

This was the first time this Indian organization offered volunteer positions through VFP, and from what I understand, my experience helped lead to improvements for interns who came after me.
