I spent a month there and it was the most amazing experience. The kids are really adorable, always happy, loving and excited to take part in every activity. Margaret is a wonderful person and host: she really makes you feel as part of the family, cooks delicious food for you and cares a lot about your well-being. Margaret and everyone else at the home work very hard to make sure the children are happy and healthy. They really make a difference in many people's lives and I'm very happy I got to see it up close and help a little. It's a unique experience and I couldn't recommend it more.

Working and learning from Margaret is an invaluable experience. She has a lot of hosting experience and is able to navigate cultural factors with ease. This is such a strong program with a great team and getting to know the children here has been so influential. I would recommend this experience to anyone interested in non-profit building, disability, public health, and general cultural exchange.
