a unique experience that shatters perspective and raises awareness. A culture full of colors, smiles, dreams and so much to give to the world. not only The point where two oceans meet but also the point where you can meet people from all over the world working together for a better future.

The experience in a whole was wonderful, the schools we worked with, our helpful instructors, the friendships we made with the other volunteers, and the bonds we made with the children on project. It was a very enjoyable experience going to projects but also the living arrangements in the Lenox were comfortable and all the staff were very caring and attentive to our needs.

The best decision I have made in my 17-years old life ;-)
