Not only do you learn about the culture, but you get to be immersed in it, and by the end of it you understand why other conservation methods haven't worked, because they didn't work with the people. Also this trip is fun, yes everyone event..."

"My experience abroad was absolutely worthwhile! I learned so much! I learned how different other cultures can be. The trip also opened my eyes to how hard it is to communicate with those who do not speak your language and how frustrating it can be. This opened my eyes to how frustrated many ELL students are in schools. "

However, with time I was able to communicate with signals and pictures which is also a tool ELL students use. Overall, this experience was definitely worthwhile. Eve..."
