I worked with The Power of 1, Intl., in 2009. I was a volunteer in a state run orphanage located in downtown San Luis. This was the experience of a lifetime. I really enjoyed the time that I spent with my host family and no doubt I would do it again. The staff is great and they jump at the opportunity to help you in whatever you need.
