Review for All Hands and Hearts, MATTAPOISETT, MA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I started off as a volunteer in Indonesia over 2 years ago, and was so impressed by the organization that I went on to donate the last two years of my life to them as a member of the full time staff. All Hands does something that resonates so clearly with me: I truly believe that helping those around you is human nature, and for some people having the ability to do this is like breathing deeply for the first time in their lives. I'm one of those people. I'll be a volunteer for the rest of my life, and All Hands is by far the best way I've found to take my determination to help and give it efficient, effective traction on the ground.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

Indonesia, Haiti, the US and the Philuppines.

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

Nope.

Wonderful. There's nothing like traveling the world in order to help save it.
