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

Rating: 5 stars  

I did volunteer work with CCS at an orphanage in Morocco and it was a wonderful experience. As their name suggests you not only do volunteer work but learn about the culture of the country you are in. Housing and meals are provided as well as transportation to and from the volunteer placement. Maintaining property and in-country staff be must be expensive. Although I am "middle-aged" many of my fellow volunteers were young people, some on their first trip to a foreign country. I think the staff did a great job of educating and looking out for everyone. i wouldn't hesitate to send any of my daughters with CCS. I viewed my experience as a way to travel, learn about the culture and give back to the community. I have also signed up for another placement with CCS. I also gave CCS 5 stars but only 3 show up.

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...

The appreciation shown by the regular staff at the orphanage where I worked and the joy of being with the children. I really felt like I was helping.
