The organization offers a lot of options to their volunteers. I volunteered as a communications volunteer in the La Esperanza office. During my stay I was able to travel to the schools and see what other volunteers did. Everyone in the organization makes a tremendous difference in the kids lives, motivating and encouraging them. I also lived in one of the volunteer houses with about 12 other people. Everyone quickly becomes friends, you go out to eat with everyone, travel on the weekends, and explore Nicaragua. I traveled to Granada by myself, only capable of speaking and understanding a little Spanish, but the experience was amazing, worth everything. Especially since you don't have to pay a big fee (only one time $20) to the organization, which is very different from other organizations. I also paid for housing which is only $20 a week! The experience was amazing and I hope to return again some day.
