More... -- Sarah Platt (Florida) "My month in Cuenca, Ecuador was irreplaceable. The shelter, Casa de Maria Amor, opened my eyes to what these women go through daily, and how strong in personality they have become." More... -- Danielle (British Columbia) "I also want to give a huge thanks to everyone at Cosmic Volunteers. It couldn’t have been possible (obviously) without your help. And to Scott, thank you also, for taking my phone calls even when I was stressing. :]. So all in all, it was absolutely wonderful. It meant so much to me and I truly will never forget my time in Ghana. And actually, I’m hoping to be returning to you all next summer with my sister!

It gave a thorough insight to what I could expect when I arrived. The "miscellaneous tips and information" section was very practical information to include. A section I thought was unique but a great idea to include was the "recommended reading" section. The last page with its closing thoughts I enjoyed reading several times. Local Coordinator She was extremely helpful, and I would add helpful to the point of being indespensible. I appreciated her checking in with me to see how I was doing and if there were things I needed. Host Family I thought it provided a genuine way to experience Indian life and culture. They were helpful in showing me parts of the neighborhood and where I could get things I needed. Sightseeing Whitewater rafting at Karjat, flying to Delhi and then taking a train to Agra to see the Taj Mahal and other monuments there. Do you believe the experience of volunteering abroad changed you in any way? Would you volunteer again? This is the third time I have volunteered abroad. Each time brings new experiences and new things I learn about myself as I push myself beyond my typical comfort zone. I absolutely would do it again.	"...And that is the best thing about being a volunteer. Having the ABSOLUTE privilege of meeting and featuring in the lives of kids who are soldiers with huge hearts, big smiles and endless love. [Vietnam] has been an experience and an honour that I will never forget." More... -- Christie (UK) "All in all, this has already been an incredible experience for me, getting to experience life in a different country while doing something I love and am passionate about [basketball coaching]. So I can't thank you and your organization enough." -- Bryan (Oregon) "[My daughter Dalia] loved Ecuador and the people, saw a lot of sites, managed to make friends and connections there and above all she really loved working with the kids at the orphanage and said they were very sweet and loving. I think it was a great experience for her in terms of helping her develop independence and self-confidence and turning her on to other cultures and travel." More... -- Laurence (Philadelphia)
