Review

I had an INCREDIBLE time volunteering in South Africa through ISV!! I went in May 2014. We spent the first 2 weeks in Cape Town volunteering in townships. I spent a week helping build a school for disabled children and the other week with the kids helping in their classrooms. It was such a rewarding experience.The children were the happiest people I've ever met. They were energetic and soo excited that we were there. All of the African people that I met were super nice and welcoming. The other students on my trip were great too! We became fast friends. I still keep in touch with most of them! After volunteering for 2 weeks, we traveled to Swaziland, Mozambique and other parts of South Africa. We got to do amazing activities such as surfing, horseback riding, safaris, caving, rappelling down cliffs, and so much more! I wouldn't trade my experience for anything! If I had the chance, I would go back to Africa in an instant. I completely fell in love with the country and its people. I would love to do another ISV trip one day! If you ever have the chance to do an ISV trip, don't hesitate! You will absolutely love it!
