Review

I volunteered with Sustainable Bolivia for two months. One month was in a fabulous homestay with a local family, and the second month was at the homebase which was really an unforgettable experience. There was really a vibrant culture, diversity, creativity, and enthusiasm of the staff and volunteers at Sustainable Bolivia and they make it very welcoming and homelike.

I think I could have gotten off to a more focused start with my research project at ProMujer, a really interesting organization, but I learned a lot and would recommend anyone working with them to do research and find advisors(maybe college professors) to help direct your project. Or just keep offering yourself to be useful wherever you can.

Cochabamba is a great place. I love the community at SB and hope to go back some day.

Would you recommend this program?
Yes, I would
