ISV South Africa

I truly loved my volunteer experience in Cape Town, South Africa. ISV and SAVE paired up to develop our volunteer plan. We built part of a school, tore down and rebuilt a roof, and played with the township children. It was definitely a culture shock from California, but I'm so glad I went. Our on-site program staff was very helpful, however ISV gave late notice on some details. My group consisted of volunteers from mainly the U.S., with a from Canada. I expected it to be more culturally-diverse, however it was still an amazing experience. Cape Town was beautiful and we frequently walked to the beach, bussed to the Victoria Waterfront shopping center, and went on a wine tour! For those of us who stayed two weeks, the staff scheduled is a safari for an additional cost. All and all very happy with my experience!
