Review for Amigos De Las Americas, Houston, TX, USA
I was a volunteer with this program in 05. Now I am a trainer, helping high school students prepare for their amazing summers to come. I feel very connected to Amigos and it was the event in my life that led me to becoming a Spanish teacher.

Review for Amigos De Las Americas, Houston, TX, USA
Amigos was the best experience of my life. It brought me closer to my family and friends at home as I volunteered abroad. I came home with so much love and gratitude for my life and for the people who I met in Honduras. When I left my town, I truly felt that a piece of me was being taken away and saved in the hearts of my 120 person village. This was the most meaningful summer that I could have imagined. Now that I have graduated from college, I am not only still connected to the people I met and my dedication to service, but I have become a Spanish teacher so that I can teach what I learned to others while speaking in Spanish, one of the highlights and challenges of my adventures in Honduras.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
the comfort that I gained with speaking and applying Spanish in all contexts. I am now a high school Spanish teacher, recruiting my own students for an incredible life-changing summer experience.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Recruit students from all states, and not just emphasis the cities that chapters are located in. I would also create a recruiting program geared toward small liberal arts colleges across the country.
