What areas did you like about our website?
It is very user-friendly.

How did you find the pre departure booklet given to you and the service of the staff in regards to answering your questions and helping you prepare?
The pre-departure booklet was very helpful in preparing for my trip. The staff, especially Sahil and Jenny were very courteous, professional and source-ful in answering all my questions

Did you enjoy working at your project / placement?
Yes I enjoyed working at my project very much. It was very meaningful to my personal and professional life.

Accommodation and meals
I could not ask for a better host family than Elizabeth and her two kids. She really took us in as her own family and were very warm, loving and welcoming. She made me feel at ease and comfortable right away. The meals were excellent. The experience of staying with them was so remarkable that I will definitely come back to visit them one day and I have considered them as my own family as well.

What was the highlight of your volunteering experience and your trip?
I can say that the highlight of my volunteering experience was working with the elders with no families . I learned from the doctor that I worked with some new things that I never even do here in the US as a healthcare professional. I actually worked as the doctor\'s assistant. The highlight of my trip overall was all the amazement I felt going to all the Inca ruins and learning a but about the Inca culture. There was so much spirituality I gained from the whole experience. I also felt like I have gained a new family. Elizabeth and her two children (my host family) made me feel belong and most welcomed there

Would you recommend this program and our organization to others? yes/no
YES!
