Review for Cross-Cultural Solutions, New Rochelle, NY, USA

Rating: 4 stars  

I traveled with Cross Cultural Solutions as an intern to Ghana. I cannot say enough about the impact that the experience has had on my life. If you are a new traveler who is unsure about how to navigate the challenges and logistics of providing service in an unfamiliar place they are able to help you navigate that transition with relative ease. I was so thankful for the in-country staff who had the cultivated connections to the community that made a short experience all that much more fulfilling and complete.

My experience in Ghana has compelled me to want to return to provide additional service to the community. It has also been a motivating force in my work here in the United States as a social work student. I am able to fully realize that much can be done with quite limited resources.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

Provide a more affordable option (or scholarship support) for those unable to afford the experience. Possibly a sliding fee scale based on participant income.

Role:  Volunteer & I participated in community sensitization programs to help increase awareness of issues of human rights and the rights of those with disabilities.
