Overall experience was excellent! Our guide (Gatti) was AMAZING. . . as was the bus driver.
One critique would be to better explain the physical nature of some of the volunteer work: moving heavy cartons of donated items in a warehouse, cooking and cleaning in a commercial kitchen, etc. . . . the work seemed to be longer and harder than I expected. Not to scare people, but to better prepare them.
Nice balance of planned dinners as well as free time. . . . the group Facebook account prior to the trip was a GREAT way to get to know each other in advance.
The hotels were 3 star not 4 star as listed, but still clean and adequate.
VERY moving and a worthwhile adventure!
