“My experience with ABV twice, in Tanzania and Honduras”

Written on: 12/07/2012 by Tvonlunteerbee

I would highly recommend ABV to anyone who desires an exceptional opportunity. ABV's projects allow one to be creative and foster self-initiative while adding a piece to "the puzzle of change" and gaining valuable experience. On my first trip, I went to Tanzania and worked in a Hospice care center for children affected by AIDS. Sarah was extremely helpful and made the process very smooth. The on-site coordinator did a good job. The host family ensured our safety and made us feel at home.... (read more)

“Wonderful Cusco Peru Experience..you must go!”

Written on: 18/06/2012

I have a lot of favorite memories, but one of them is the time I got to spend with my host sisters. We became really close and got to travel around a little bit together, and after working at the orphanage we would go into the Plaza de Armas and grab coffee and walk around town for a little bit. Don’t write off your host family, really get to know them and spend time with them, because you’ll most likely make life long friends. Cusco really isn’t all that different from any other...

“Ecuador Quito needs your help”

Written on: 18/06/2012

Our first week in Ecuador, we worked with abused and neglected children in one of the orphanages here in Quito. We observed children with fetal alcohol syndrome and those with reactive attachment disorder. We very much enjoyed caring and teaching these children during the week. The orphanage runs on donations and we felt it was necessary to provide them with supplies such as toilet paper, wipes, shampoo, gloves, and educational games. Our second week in Ecuador, we volunteered and observed... (read more)

“La Serena Chile Orphanage”

Written on: 18/06/2012

We were fortunate enough to be placed with a family that has accommodation for a ‘couple’. We lived on their premises in a room of our own separate room from the actual house where the family dwells. It was very nice, as it allowed us lots of freedom to move about the city doing our own thing in our spare time without ‘disrupting’ the family. The family is extremely inviting, friendly, loving and caring. From day one we were never treated as guests, but rather we were treated as... (read more)

“Love Makuyu Village in Kenya”

Written on: 18/06/2012 by Piperingame (1 review written)

Dancing with the kids on a daily basis. Their love of music and their dance moves cracked me up. The little girls dance with so much attitude, that you can’t help but learn from them! The kids are not up for adoption. After speaking with some of the staff members I found out that the children are not up for adoption unless you go through certain programs, but Kenya’s adoption laws are ever changing so it is a difficult process. Hearing some of the children’s stories about why they... (read more)

“Our RVU Medical group in Peru Cusco”

Written on: 18/06/2012

The Children’s Neurology center was an amazing experience for me –these kids showed such courage and hope, and a sense of fun and wonderful spirit. I was so amazed by how well-loved they were by the staff, given their extremely challenging conditions. There weren’t more English-Spanish translators on hand! There were many who spoke (read and wrote) exclusively Quechua and not Spanish.Also likely to be the Neurological Center for children as well. It was devastating to experience their... (read more)

“I loved the Orphanage in La Serena Chile”

Written on: 18/06/2012

On the first weekend I was there, we had dinner with my family, their friends, the other volunteer and myself. We talked for hours about our countries and lives. It was so interesting to listen to their stories and be in good company. The staff and students at the school were so welcoming and every teacher invited me into their classrooms to help and teach. Also, the students were very eager to learn English words and phrases, and I was more than willing to help them learn! Chilean Spanish... (read more)

“Medical Volunteeer in Tanzania Arusha”

Written on: 18/06/2012

My favorite memory was being able to go out with the local doctors after work to eat amazing food. The location is extremely close to the equator so I was expecting the weather to be MUCH hotter. The climate was perfect, just need a hat and some sunscreen to avoid sunburn. The language barrier is quite huge. Although English is a secondary language in Tanzania, many people do not understand English. Communication is definitely the most difficult experience I had in Tanzania Even though I... (read more)

“Great, Reliable and Informative Volunteer Organization”

Written on: 18/06/2012 by dodinet (1 review written)

I have traveled twice with A Broader View, an American volunteer organization. I have to say I was very pleased both times. I found the A Broader View office to be quite professional and well organized. They always responded to my emails and returned my calls promptly, answering my questions and concerns. October last year I spent a month with them in Chile taking their language course. This past April I traveled with them in Guatemala in their orphanage project. I initially chose them... (read more)
