My work at Ceifar had I highly positive impact because of the notes and gifts I received from my students, I feel certain that I made a difference.
The most difficult challenge I´ve faced was the language barrier. I developed activities for students with ten to twelve years old like playing English language characters.
My suggestions for future volunteers is to be flexible, don´t have any preconceived notions, be sure to communicate your love and affection to the children because above all else, that´s what matters.
