Please summarize your volunteer experience (please attach extra sheet if necessary) with GC.

An amazing experience – Global Crossroads was both very organized and professional.  Everyone associated with Global Crossroads and the Orphanage was very kind and accommodating. The other volunteers were great, and my host family was wonderful – especially Maria, who was thoughtful and funny and concerned and warm.  Speaking of warm – definitely warn the volunteers there is no heat in the houses and it got quite cold at night!  Loved the hostel in Guatemala – those people were amazing and I will go to that hostel again for whatever reason I find myself again in Guatemala city.  Just the most decent kindest fascinating most accommodating people – great stories too!  I really felt at the orphanage that I was helping and allowed to make a difference.  I think volunteers are needed there and I felt needed and appreciated. I especially liked my teacher, who was in charge of the special needs students.
