Highlights

"To anyone who is considering going on a project just go. No matter what fears you have, whether it's travelling to the place, the people you will meet, the unpredictable, I promise the fun that you will have will outweigh any negatives. I laughed so much and met some incredible people from all over the world. I have a new appreciation for languages, culture and community but mostly for the resilience of people.” Volunteer about her project in Belgium, Asylum Seeker centre
