Women's Shelter Volunteer in Cuenca, Ecuador, 2006

Fri, 04 Apr 2008 11:17:11 -0000

Comments:

My month at Cuenca was irreplaceable. This shelter, Casa de Maria Amor,for abused women and their children, opened my eyes to what these women go through daily, and how strong in personality they have become. Only a few minutes bus ride from my homestay in Cuenca, it was simple to get to in the morning, and made for a beautiful walk back through Old Cuenca when time allowed so. posted by abroadvolunteer

Orphanage and Street Children Volunteer in Mumbai, India, 2006

Fri, 04 Apr 2008 11:01:36 -0000

Comments:

The guide was extremely useful and very detailed. It gave a thorough insight to what I could expect when I arrived. The "miscellaneous tips and information" section was very practical information to include. A section I thought was unique but a great idea to include was the "recommended reading"section. The last page with its closing thoughts I enjoyed reading several times. posted by abroadvolunteer
