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

Rating: 5 stars  

I just returned from spending two weeks in Rabat, Morocco. The experience was life changing! I volunteered at a Children's Hospital playing with sick kids mostly through arts and crafts. The hospital really depends on volunteers to help with entertaining the kids and to help them forget about being sick for a few hours. The house staff in Morocco were simply amazing and really tried to make sure each volunteer was comfortable. Mohamed, the CCS country director, is such a caring, warm person and really is concerned for the safety and well being of all volunteers. The home base is located in an extremely safe neighborhood of Rabat with cafes and parks all within walking distance. The cultural activities organized by the CCS staff were very informative and educational. If anyone is thinking about volunteering abroad and does not have the ability to commit over two years to the Peace Corps, I would wholeheartedly recommend giving back through CCS. It will certainly be an experience you will not forget!
