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

Rating: 5 stars  

My CCS adventure was in Lima, Peru for 3 weeks. I spent my time helping at a program for the elderly, where we danced, prepared meals and served them, did arts and crafts, harvested vegetables from the garden, visited them at their homes, and in general just spent time with them. Bonds were quickly made, and their welcoming, positive attitudes were contagious! No matter their situation, they are such a grateful group and always expressed their appreciation. During our weekends we had visited Ica/Huacachina for sand-boarding, Cuzco and Puno for Machu Picchu, and Lake Titikaka and the floating islands. CCS is a fantastic program that provides safety, security, special volunteer opportunities, classes and tours, and free time to immerse yourself in the culture.
