My Nonprofit Reviews

Visiting two schools in Peru was a life changing experience. Bright Light Volunteers had it completely organized. The trip also included some sightseeing, great traditional meals and meeting new people to share this journey with. There is always a mission with BLV. This time, we helped with a filtration system at one of the schools so that there would be clean, fresh water. Additionally, we bought tin bowls so that eating lunch for the children, would be more sanitary versus plastic plates, that could harbor germs.

The children at the schools enjoyed learning new skills, doing crafts with us, a hygiene lesson when we supplied toothpaste and new brushes and a host of other interactive activities. We brought sports equipment, games, clothing and other essential items for the children.

We experienced a very warm welcome at the school with a performance on their playground. The children's smiles were priceless, precious and plentiful.

Bright Light Volunteers makes a different in the world in a huge way. I highly recommend this way to experience a humanitarian trip. It is a heartwarming adventure and does the soul a lot of good. Making a difference in people's lives is the goal that BLV always accomplishes.

Kudos to the founder, Catherine Greenberg, for all that she does plus allows us volunteers to be global citizens.
