My Nonprofit Reviews

I don't even know where to being: my youthlinc trip to Peru was, by far, the most amazing thing I have ever done in my entire life. First of all, Peru and being on the Amazon was an incredibly unique and beautiful experiance. The humidity, heat, bipolar weather, and mosquitos were all things that I had to adjust to, but ended up adding to the experiance. The people of Yanamono II were, as a group, the most loving, giving, warm and friendly people that I have ever encoutered. The word "community" takes up an entirely different meaning when applied to the village: everyone does not only know eachother, but takes time out to make sure everyone is doing okay; mothers let their children walk about freely because they know that the whole of the population is looking out for them; the leaders of the community work alongside in contruction projects and other community events. The people of Yanamono let us into this community - or rather, family - and this is something that I will forever be grateful for. Saying goodbye to these incredible people - my new family - was one of the hardest things I have had to do. I am already making plans to return.
