"I also want to give a huge thanks to everyone
at Cosmic Volunteers. It couldn’t have been possible (obviously)
without your help. And to Scott, thank you also, for taking my phone
calls even when I was stressing. :]. So all in all, it was absolutely
wonderful. It meant so much to me and I truly will never forget
my time in Ghana. And actually, I’m hoping to be returning
to you all next summer with my sister! More...

Volunteer with children with disabilities in San Isidro, Peru
I’ve had a really great time in Peru, the experience has
been fantastic and the people have been even better.
My Program Coordinator has provided me with a lot of support -
for example, I was sick during my trip, and they called to see how
I was doing frequently. My host mom has also been great, she made
me soup when I was sick and has taken care of two meals a day for
me.
I've really enjoyed volunteering with the children, as well as
time spent out in Lima with the other volunteers. Learning about
a new culture and expanding my Spanish vocabulary has been rewarding.
I thought that the city tour was pretty good, as well as all the
information provided about my volunteer program in the first few
days. I also thought that the Spanish lessons were a nice touch.
What I enjoyed most was the flexibility. Though I had constant
support if I needed it and people were always ready to help me out,
I could pretty much make my own schedule and that was a major plus.
Overall, I really enjoyed my trip and I would encourage others
to participate in the program.

Having the ABSOLUTE privilege of meeting and featuring in the
lives of kids who are soldiers with huge hearts, big smiles and
endless love. [Vietnam] has been an experience and an honour that
I will never forget." More...

"All in all, this has already been an incredible experience
for me, getting to experience life in a different country while
doing something I love and am passionate about [basketball coaching].
So I can't thank you and your organization enough."
-- Bryan (Oregon)
"[My daughter Dalia] loved Ecuador and the people, saw a
lot of sites, managed to make friends and connections there and
above all she really loved working with the kids at the orphanage
and said they were very sweet and loving. I think it was a great
experience for her in terms of helping her develop independence
and self-confidence and turning her on to other cultures and travel."
