"This trip [to Ghana] changed my life. I realized that there’s a big world out there and I want to get to see more of it. I really appreciate things a lot more now. It was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made." More...

"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...

Anna Schmid (USA)
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.

   

"...And that is the best thing about being a volunteer. 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...
-- Christie (UK)

"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." More...
-- Laurence (Philadelphia)
