My Nonprofit Reviews

Volunteering with HELPS in Guatemala was an amazing experience and I would highly recommend it to anyone who gets the opportunity. I had talked with many who had gone before me and kept hearing how it was a life-changing experience. To be honest, I just thought that was a way of saying it was going to be great week. I thought "life-changing" might have been a little dramatic. But that couldn't have been further from the truth. Not only was it life-changing for me, I know we touched and changed a lot of lives while we were there. Much like I couldn't grasp it until I went, I don't think I could explain it here. So I would say go! Sign up, donate and go see for yourself. It was an amazing, humbling experience. I left thinking I was going to help others and came back (almost feeling a little guilty) realizing it was the others that had given me more than I could have ever given.
