The city was excellent as a new place to learn and grow. I loved meeting new people, sharing stories, and talking about our future plans. It was amazing to get to know the children at the primary school where I worked. I would strongly recommend the experience. I will never forget the one-on-one teaching with the children; I love teaching and inspiring the youth. I would recommend staying for a few months because there is so much to experience in the area, with its rich history. The staff and weekly activities were amazing. I loved hiking the mountains and trying new foods. Most of all, I am grateful for having such a loving and caring support system with Vacorps. Leave expectations behind. Be open, be helpful, and be respectful. Let the children ask questions and interact, because in doing so, we inspire them. I was able to fully connect with the children as well as the staff, and I feel like I have created a place of belonging and joined a community.
