Aldeas De Paz was an incredible experience

It was a wonderful program. I really enjoyed it as a mom, sharing it with my 18 year old daughter. It was so wonderful to know that we were helping children to learn some English and have fun playing soccer, swimming, and riding horses, where otherwise they would have nothing at all to do but play in old cars.

Visiting children and their parents in the hospital was very rewarding. These families had nothing to do at all during their days there, and I know that we brought them some joy.

Staying with the natives was an incredible lesson. This was so special. I went there hoping to show my daughter how lucky we are to have all the amenities that we do in America. Instead though, I think we left with the kowledge that you need so little in the way of materialistic goods to be happy and that what makes one truly happy and healthy, is a solid community, healthy work outdoors and cookiing your own food from scratch, without any chemicals.
