Review for Cross-Cultural Solutions, New Rochelle, NY, USA

Rating: 1 stars  

I went to Guatemala when I was about 16 years old. Six years later at 22 I’m realizing how poorly organized and scary it was. Long story short, I got a virus and needed medical attention, the program directors refused to get me care. I told them I needed to leave as I was getting sicker. The program director, Juan Carlos I think his name was? Kicked everybody out of the dorm and intimidated me, a 16 year old, by myself on a flight of stairs. He told me I could not leave. My dad had to contact their emergency help line, they told him I was fine and not to get me. I had to BEG to leave. They tried to limit communication with our parents. Horrifying traumatizing and still haunts me to this day. Do not send your children with this program
