I just wanted to thank everyone for this incredible experience. I will never forget the love that I was shown this week it was unforgettable. This volunteer trip has confirmed my passion for working with kids and helping others. This was not a one week program for me, I am going to forever hold the kids in my heart and hopefully come back in the near future and if not help from afar.
**1. How would you describe/rate the support provided by our in-country Coordinator & staff?
**They explain to us where help was needed/what needed work on and said it was an open door policy, if we had any questions/concerns. You could tell they love their jobs and were passionate about it.
**2. What is your favorite memory of your trip?
**I honestly have so many but I think right when we arrived to the orphanage really set the stage for a great week. The kids were so warm and welcoming immediately they were so genuine, always with big smiles on their faces.
**3. What was most personally challenging aspect of this program for you?
**I think personally I felt like I wanted to somehow help more either around the orphanage or something more with the kids. I found throughout the week however that just being present \was good in and of itself.
**4. Any tips for future volunteers… (clothing, sightseeing spots, tours, packing etc)
**Do the snorkeling /starfish Island to see some more of Belize. Bring an extra blanket and lots of bug spary!
