Volunteer Name: Amber Potter
Project Location: Belize
Volunteered at: Orphanage
My Favorite Memory:
Simeon singing “me and Amber under the sun” just about every day. Good morning greetings from the preschool.
I was surprised that….
The environment was so relaxed.
The most difficult thing I experienced was…..
Not being able to have memories to share to share via photos or forever keep.
My best received lesson…..
How happy the children are, coming from the situations they come from because of their culture and religious focus.
Tip for future volunteers…..
Travel! Go explore Belize, don’t wait on others, you’ll never feel alone, people are more than helpful.
Personal paragraph (Testimonial):
Take the good from every situation. Embrace all experiences. Explore. Learn. Be open. Listen and smile.
