My Nonprofit Reviews

My experience with OHS was absolutely beyond words, which makes it kinda hard to review or tell others about, but I will do my best! Initially, I had no idea what I had signed myself up for. I received an email from my college adviser about an opportunity in South Africa, and I thought what's the harm in applying. So I applied and was accepted. I thought that it would just be a trip where I could see the sights and volunteer a little bit, but I was wrong. As cheesy as it sounds, this trip was truly life changing. I connected with everyone around me, made lasting friendships, and was able to gain real perspective on people's lives that were completely different than my own. I experienced more than I ever could of imagined. I learned so much from everyone around me, especially the two kids I worked with. They taught me way more than what I could have ever taught them in the two weeks I was there. Everyone at OHS made me feel more than at home right from the beginning. It is so obvious how everyone on the staff genuinely cares not only about the program, but also about each individual who is a part of it. If you are looking for a view-changing, eye-opening, absolutely incredible opportunity, OHS is it!
