Chance of lifetime

I've been a lifelong volunteer, and my experiences with All Hands and Hearts have been some of the most meaningful of my life. I've met people of all sorts while on program, and had the opportunity to be immersed in different cultures while feeling like I'm really making a difference. I felt fully supported and listened to by staff, and the diversity of the other volunteers and the people we served have expanded my understanding.

The communal living and team environment allows each person to bring their unique gifts to each project; you never know who is going to come up with a solution! The AHAH staff are very good at letting teams figure things out and find ways to get the job done. The program informs volunteers on how to be culturally sensitive to the often traumatized people you may be serving, while still allowing for meaningful exchanges.

I look forward to many more trips with AHAH.
