    I learned and spoke Spanish in a more conversational way than in school. I liked building the cistern and clearing the mora with the machete, but my favorite part of VISIONS was the close relationship with the community.

    Caroline had a wonderful and rich experience. The counselors were in her words "amazing" and really interesting people. She was originally hesitant to go and returned home thrilled from this experience.

    It was an overall great experience! I never once thought about the working aspect. I recommend this to everyone! The community welcomed us with open arms…my Spanish improved so much. VISIONS is so well put together. For me it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I recommend this program not only for community service but also I made friends that I will always stay in touch with, and we made lifelong memories together. The staff was so well rounded and easy to get along with. …they serve as adults keeping you safe but they also become your friend. VISIONS is an easy way to gain community service hours without even thinking about it. You get to immerse yourself in a foreign community and experience a lifestyle completely different from your own. The experiences are rewarding and lots of fun, while at the same time you are doing something good for the world. I wish I could go back!!! I recommend it to everyone.
