Best decision ever!

It is one of the best experiences i have ever had. Could not have asked for a better place to volunteer at. The IVHQ staff were more than helpful and amazing overall, they really help us adjust to our new home and to our project. The project itself was really interesting and made a big impact. The city is surreal, very diverse, rich and full of life.
