Nepal is a special place in this world. I have never seen people so happy. It’s a beautiful place; I would hope everyone would get the chances to visit.

This volunteering experience at La Ceiba was my first volunteering activity ever and while I am not a doctor or a nurse I wasn't sure I was going to be able to provide help and I ended feeling highly satisfy with my accomplishments. The experience allow me to challenge myself and find creative ways in which I could be of help, even without getting a straight forward tasks from the people at the clinic, clear expectations and a defined role for me to do. I would certainly do it again, perhaps with more time (at least three weeks).  This experience has provided me with personal growth as well as good memories and personal gratification. It also allowed me to meet wonderful people I am sure I will remind in contact with. 

I really enjoyed my time in the program. Being able to spend time with the children, other ABV volunteers and staff was a life changing experience. I made many new friends and incredible memories here. I will be taking home priceless memories and a greater appreciation for the culture of Belize. I will miss the kids and I feel I am leaving a piece of my heart here in Belize. I look forward to coming back if I can to visit again.

Going over the Christmas/new year’s holidays was a little difficult because we couldn’t take small trips with the kids, but the kids are delightful and so much fun to be with. We will miss all of them and the wonderful staff at the orphanage.

I was excited to come to experience new things. I did have one bad day, but I didn’t let that stop me because so many great things happened after that. I want to be a neonatal doctor and being able to see the birth of two babies was just a driving force for me to never give up and that one day that could be. Like I said, you get what you put in. Now that it is time to leave I take away so many memories and experience that I will cherish forever.

I had amazing time. I met so many amazing people and made a new great friend Lisa. Thank you so much for this opportunity.

Nepal is such a beautiful country and all the people here are very welcoming, respectful and happy. I had the time of myself. I would recommend it to anyone.

Good time here. Make sure the clinic staff knows what to do with us. Overall wonderful experience.

I loved my time in Cusco. This is such a beautiful city and country with such caring residents. Being able to experience physical therapy here was very challenging yet rewarding. The differences in standards of care and lack of direction took some time to get used to, but I learned to enjoy the autonomy and tried to provide the best care to the patients as possible. Also the immersion was extremely beneficial. Unless you are fluent or proficient in Spanish I highly recommend it. I learned so much in just 3 weeks at the language immersion lessons and the teachers were all incredible. Overall I really enjoyed my experience and would love to come back and visit in the future!

My accommodation was the highlight! Vilma and her family are so welcoming--I feel right at home here!

I fell in love with Nepal. Kathmandu has a vibrant, fast paced energy; Pokhara was like a touristy resort town on a lake and Nagarkot was simply breathtaking. The food & people both constantly amazed me. I wish the hospital had actual responsibilities for us instead of us just watching most of the surgeries, but even that was great. I missed out on trekking but I plan on doing that if I return.

Before coming on this trip I did some reading about people like me that participate in trips like this – come for a week and then go back to their ordinary lives. I didn’t want to enter this week with the mindset that I was going to be the one creating change. I wanted to welcome change from the children. I have been amazed by my experienced in Belize – one that is so rare an experience. I have been so overwhelmed by the love and care extended to me on my short stat.
