My Travel Story

I (17F) have been given the extraordinary honor and opportunity to volunteer abroad in San Jose, Costa Rica with International Volunteer Headquarters!! IVHQ is an absolutely amazing organization that have been awarded the title “Top Volunteer Abroad Provider” six years in a row. I will be volunteering for two weeks over the summer in San Jose, where I will be working for both childcare and animal care. My volunteer work will accumulate to 50 international volunteer hours. I chose Costa Rica as my destination because I felt it was one of the places that would most benefit from volunteer work in both of my cause areas, with Costa Rica being home to “The Land of The Strays” or “Territorio de Zaguates.” I applied for these cause areas because they are deeply connected with my passion, which is to help those most innocent and help those who cannot defend themselves. Through this volunteer abroad experience, I will get to travel beyond the US borders for the first time ever and witness a completely different society and culture than the only one I have known. I know that this experience will be life-changing—to say the least— not only for my unending urge to help people and animals, but also with my perspective of the world and life beyond the United States. Please know that any money I earn myself goes directly to this cause. Donations will cover my plane ticket, training for volunteer certification, and my program fee which covers all accommodation and meals. If you cannot or do not wish to donate fiscally, please consider putting me and others volunteering abroad in your prayers for safe and extraordinary experiences.
