Volunteering! Why not?

Chad says:

Why not consider doing something different this summer? You’re not going to get rich financially
doing this, but this experience will make you richer in many other ways.

Volunteering in South America gives you the chance to travel around some truly amazing places or
across 12 different countries without spending a fortune. I traveled through the jungle and over the
mountains and only spent about $100 a month. It’s difficult to say which place was the most
interesting, but one of them that I remember very well was volunteering in Santa Cruz at a center that
helps kids of all ages – from babies to young adults – to learn about Bolivian culture and music
because the city has no cultural center. I helped the director, Gabriela, do the housework, serve lunch
 2B

and give English lessons every day. We also went shopping every day to buy the cheap food on sale
but there wasn’t much. I loved it, but they need more volunteers to go and help them. Most of all, they
need more dishes for the 91 kids, and more food to feed them all.

I’m going to go back in the spring. If you want an interesting vacation, and you don’t want to spend a
lot of money next summer, I really suggest volunteering! And why not go and help Gabriela? You’ll
find a welcoming place and fantastic kids!
