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

Rating: 5 stars  

My experience with CCS was absoulutely incredible. I could not have asked for a more helpful home-base staff, nicer co-voluteers or a more open and warm community in San Carlos. I felt 100% safe and cared for. I was able to not only affect the lives of 8 children between the ages of 1-7 but also explore the country, breath in and experience the culture, learn the language and make some wonderful life friends. I would absolutely recommend the program to anyone who is thinking about voluteering. The way CCS is set up prepares you for a flawless transition across boarders and keeps voluteers balanced perfectly between work and realziing one's own journey in a forgien country. I was able to be creative with my project I set up for the children and by the end of my stay, I saw significant changes in mood, behavior and understanding. It was so rewarding. I cannot speak highly enough about CCS...I would do it again in a heartbeat...and plan to in the future. Good luck...follow every one of your dreams and there is no better time than now or organization to begin to give back and share your culture! Thank you CCS for everything...I'll be back Grevin, Margeth, Rosa, Raffiel and all the others! <3
