  There are not enough words to describe just how amazing this trip was! I have never felt so immersed in a culture before and was able to learn so much about the local community while also forming connections with them. What I love most about GIVE is that they actually spent time in the village to really get to know the community and talk to the locals to see how they could help their community in the most beneficial and sustainable way. The village truly welcomes GIVE into their homes and it's amazing to see the impact we have had on them and the impact they've made on us. This trip is absolutely life changing. I came back to the states as a more positive, open-minded, and stronger individual. I learned how rewarding it is to help others. I made truly deep connections with my volunteer group and the locals. This trip is worth every single penny, I promise you. I strongly encourage you to sign up for a trip and become the change you wish to see in this world.

  I came with an Auburn Peace Corps group and we stayed with GIVE. It was an absolute fantastic experience. Daniela and Teresa were such amazing people and they helped change my life for the better for forever. I cannot wait to go on another GIVE trip!

  I have been on 2 GIVE trips now and they were both the most amazing experiences of my life. The guides are so loving and selfless and the locals are the most genuine people I've ever met.

  This was my first time travelling out of the country, and by myself. I have to say that this was the best decision I have ever made!! I still keep in contact with the people I was on the trip with months later. It helped bring clarity for my career and that a week like this is exactly what I want to do for the rest of my life. I support organizations such as GIVE for focusing on sustainable development rather than continuing a cycle of poverty that other organization often do. My only area of improvement is for better communication prior to the trip. The group didn’t receive much information until a couple weeks before departure

  This experience was unlike any other. Every aspect of this trip was so unique compared to anything else I had ever experienced anywhere from the food, to the people, even tp the mode of transportation to reach Little Corn. We were immersed and welcomed into a culture and island that I hadn't even heard of before, but that small fact meant nothing to the locals. They welcomed us into their homes for meals, taught us about their culture, shared stories about their history, led us around the island and just hung out with us so we could all get to know each other. This was truly am immersion experience. Whoever comes to this island will not leave empty, they will be fuller than after any vacation to 5 star resort. Instead of filling voids with expensive drinks, air conditioning and properly edited pictures, you are able to see raw beauty in the nature that surrounds you and the pureness inside all of the people that will welcome you with open arms. I definitley plan on going back, but this time I will bring more people and will stay much longer.

  this trip has truely changed me as a person. I went on this trip hoping to make some friends and make some good memories and really just escape from my life in America but after this trip I got so much more than that out of it. Not only did I make new friends I gained a new family. Not only did I have some good memories but life changing and impactful ones. Not only did I escape but find a new passion I never knew I had and learn so much on the way to better myself. This was the number one best decision I’ve ever made in my life and wouldn’t have changed a single thing. I’m so great full for the experience I got from this program and can’t wait to go back in December and go to Nepal in May
