My Nonprofit Reviews

I volunteered as an undergrad Speech Therapy student at Brillo de Sol last summer (July-August 2019) and it was such an incredible experience. Each teacher and staff member welcomed us with open arms. Every child we got to work with was well loved and cared for while they were at school and it was evident that many of them considered the school as a home and safe place. I am so grateful that there is a place like Brillo de Sol that children can go to learn and be loved!

This summer I was given the opportunity to volunteer for two weeks at Brillo de Sol. Being welcomed into the school with open arms from the staff and given the opportunity to work with the children on phonemic awareness in individual/group settings was invaluable. What will be mostly remembered though, is the environment that this school provides for each kiddo. Many of these kids do not have the best background or home environment. At Brillo de Sol, they are given unconditional love, taught HOW to love, and given a safe environment to learn and truly be a kid while simultaneously earning responsibility and tools to be a functioning, healthy adult in society. The staff here are making incredible differences in the education and well-being of every kid that walks in their doors. Brillo de Sol rocks.
