Good experience, very thankful

I joined the Ubelong program in Mexico to teach English and found it to be a wonderful experience. I was only there for 2 weeks during a break from work, yet still feel like I made a difference. I don't think I changed the world, but I think my time there was well spent. Everybody at the organization was thoughtful, respectful and helpful, and although basic I thought the living conditions were more than adequate. Many of the volunteers were in their 20s, I was the only one in my 30s - this created some small barriers with different budgets, Saturday night plans, etc, but overall I managed fine and came out of the experience with important new relationships. Thanks Ubelong for a very special experience.
