Review for Con-solatio, Brooklyn, NY, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

Con-solatio is a wonderful organization with a beautiful mission. Our daughter served with Con-solatio in El Salvador for 8 months this past year and the experience transformed her. She was deeply moved by the witness of so many living in such poverty yet with such joy and generosity.

As her parents we are grateful that Con-solatio took such wonderful care of our daughter; we never for a moment felt that the difficult life that she was entering would ever become a dangerous life. When we visited the mission house in El Salvador we witnessed first hand the professionalism with which the house was run. Every penny (yes, the use U.S. money in El Salvador!) was carefully accounted for and the missionaries were all _very_ conscious of the fact that the money they used to purchase food, toiletries, or other necessities was a gift and sacrifice from someone who believes in their mission.

Our daughter had such an amazing experience that she hopes to visit her friends in El Salvador again. My wife and I are such believers in the organization that we will continue to financially support Con-solatio even though our daughter's mission has ended.
