I volunteered with two totally different jobs. Both were incredible and life changing experiences that I will never forget. uVolunteer make my time volunteering extremely enjoyable and easy going.
My first job was working at a day care center in Costa Rica. I loved going to work every day and seeing my kids. They were always positive and fun to be around. The staff I worked with told me everyday how glad and grateful they were to have me there. I left work every day with a huge smile on my face and an all around good feeling.
The peoples faces and stories will never stop affecting my thoughts and ideas and I consider that a huge impression to leave on someone.
My second job was on a farm in Nicaragua close to Granada. I was the first volunteer to be sent there by uVolunteer and I think because of that I went expecting a completely different experience. I was told I would be working with the farmers on the fields and such but what my experience actually ended up being was a cleaner. The farm had tourists coming to the farm and we would clean up after them and ourselves. Luckily I was able to teach English classes to the local families which I truly enjoyed. I ended up still being an incredible experience although it was different than my expectations.
I would say that the reason my experiences with uVolunteer were so valuable was because of the people. Every person I met while volunteering seemed to have added some thing to my experience. It wasn’t only my kids I worked with or the adults, it was the local ticos and nicas, uVolunteer staff and volunteers and the so many people I met while traveling. The peoples faces and stories will never stop affecting my thoughts and ideas and I consider that a huge impression to leave on someone.
