This was an incredible experience. I can only hope that I have helped these kids and the workers as much as they have helped me. Everyone have been loving and kind and I care for them all.
1) How would you describe/rate the support provided by our in-country Coordinator & staff?
It was good! We got a lot of information about the things that would be available to us regarding health and safety. However, it would have been nice to see picture of the site.
