Marketing Volunteering in Jamaica

From the start to the conclusion everything went great. The teaching was fun (it was still work) and the kids were the BEST, ever. Had to get use to the hot weather but we had a pool and a beautiful ocean to take those wonderful sunrise walks along the beach. The local team was the best and the IVHQ didn't leave out anything, they prepare you well and provide tips you might not have thought about yourself. I only wish it wasn't 22 hours of fights, of course if it was closer I might be on my way back now. To someone thinking about doing this, yes you might not have all the comforts of home but you'll never be the same again and I say that in a GOOD way. P.S. be ready to make some new friends. Thanks IVHQ.

I had a great experience was able to give something to the community as a volunteer, but mostly to meet new people and enjoy Costa Rica! My host family was amazing and although I travelled alone, I ended up spending afternoons exploring with my housemate, which was a blessing. I also had time to do some trips w the local travel agency and on my own. It was a great experience. My Spanish is terrible but the people there are so nice and patient, most speak some English so it was a great way to get inspired to pick up Spanish again. I will definitely do another program with IVHQ.
