South America Travel Stories

"The programme was so rewarding and everyday was such great fun. The builders are such a laugh and we all ended up going out with each other to celebrate the completion of the houses.
The programme exceeded all my expectations. So many stories and so many wonderful memories. My most memorable moment was handing over the keys to the families and seeing them in the house that you contributed 100% to. Being able to leave them with that is a feeling you can't prepare yourself for!" - Keisha Narain - House Building Volunteer Guatemala

When I made some play-dough on Friday you'd have thought I'd given them $100 each and they were engrossed for the next 2 and a half hours.
