Review for Alliance for International Reforestation, Inc., Atlanta, GA, USA
I heard of AIR in January and volunteered in June. The staff in country were professional, personable and very interested in their work and helping their fellow countrymen and the environment. The technical staff develop real bonds with the people they help and we were made a part of the group, even with a language difference. We were made to feel welcome, useful and part of the team. The office staff kept every part of the time we were there organized and useful. They even planned adventures for fun with the same efficiency as the work we did. The technical staff goes into mountain villages and develops real relationships with the people. When we came in to do the volunteer work, we worked with some of the villagers and were fed very well by them. They seemed to be very pleased we were their. It was such a good experience that we are planning to return next year. We were very impressed with the entire AIR operation and look forward to a long relationship with them.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
be at a loss to know where to begin. The operation is run in country by locals who are trained and care about their country and the people withwhom they work.
