My experience with the organization was incredible. It was wonderful to be with the children of the orphanage, they welcomed me with much affection and eager to learn and receive love. I feel happy to have been able to give them all my love and attention, and to have been able to be part of their lives, even if it was only for a few days. At David's house they welcomed me with love and were attentive to me at all times, thank you all for treating me so well. Special thanks to David for being so attentive to me and it possible for me to live this experience to the fullest, and for trusting me. Thx

It was so fun , I really felt so welcomed and respected , I loved my host family and how they let me feel at home, I loved being with the kids and help them how I could and would recommend it to everybody, Bryan (the driver) is super nice and David makes you feel really welcome at his home. It was really short but made me open my eyes for everything I have.
