Volunteer Testimonials
This was what I was born to do.
“I'm glad we were able to go there and work 110% without having to worry about basic things like safety, water and food. Administration did a good job of providing that. I was able to fully engage myself in service and immerse myself in what I was doing. I felt like this was what I was born to do.”
It was great reward for me.
“I know that I can make someone's life much better and it was great reward for me, it felt good.”
I loved that I was able to learn so much.
“I loved that I was able to learn so much from the medical team. I also really loved that we were able to interact with the community and I would love more of that.”
