”It was such a great experience for me to volunteer in Colombia - Bogota. It gave me an idea how life can be in Colombia and we learnt so much about the people and the country. I felt like I helped even when it was not a huge difference to their life but all help is needed and appreciated. Everybody should do something like this!”
Isabel Fuchs, Swiss, 22
