My experience in Silana was one of the best times of my life.

My experience in Silana was one of the best times of my life. It has changed the direction of my future and has opened up my eyes to a whole new world. I have made so many friends that are hopefully life long and met so many different types of people. This experience has been a tough one and it is definitely hard at some points but overall you need to make the most out of it because the weeks go so fast and you’ll look back and wish you could re do it all.

I had a blast during this program. All the stuff we were able to do was really cool. Indie and Fliss were amazing group leaders and did a fantastic job. They were always there for us and were great leaders. Casa Tucan is a great place and company to have a base at. We all learned a ton about the culture here in Costa Rica and I wouldn't change it for anything. You guys are the best !

Made the experience better for being away from home for a while

GVI Fiji-Dawasamu was a great experience for me. I enjoyed everyone here who were volunteers & interns & the staff as well. Everyone was very welcoming upon my arrival and made the experience better for being away from home for a while. All the locals & the local staff really made the experience more meaningful and exciting. Overall, this is a place that I would definitely come back to and stay longer in the future.
