It was an amazing experience; definitely one of the best decisions I have ever made. I appreciated the mix of language and cultural immersion, living with a host family, local volunteering, and sightseeing.

My favorite part of my Quest was working with my children at Los Molinos. They were all so sweet, and I loved walking up the road to my project because the kids waiting outside would run up to me, calling “Teacher, teacher!” in English and latch on to my sides. I really felt like I was making a difference. I liked that the after-school program was completely volunteer run; I had brought string with me to make bracelets or “pulseras” and one afternoon we did this activity with the kids, which they really enjoyed.

One of the best experiences of my life! I love working with kids, even though they can tire you out sometimes; it’s always worth it.
