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

Rating: 5 stars  

I absoultely, hands down would recommend CCS to everyone and anyone! I did 2 separate 2 week trips in 2007 and 2008. The first trip was to Costa Rica, where our volunteer assignment was at a nursing home, where we visited the patients there and painted a gorgeous mural on the wall to brighten their spirits. I was designated as the BINGO caller because I knew how to say the numbers and letters in Spanish, and it was a fun time. My second trip was to Brazil, where our volunteer assignment was to paint cribs for the toddlers at the orphanage and help the staff give one-on-one time to the kids. Seeing the smiles on both the elderly and the young was priceless when we were there. We really brightened their days and spirits.
