Volunteer Voices

This experience educated me about Iceland and other cultures. It was an enlightening on the community living dynamic and living with other cultures. You were challenged daily while living with a lot of people in a small area. It was cool because our group bonded very well and it made it an enjoyable project to work one.The group of people and location of our project made it all a great experience. I had a small group of nine people. Smaller groups are better for multiple reasons, better interaction, and a smaller number to cook for and ease of coordination overall. We had seven countries represented and everyone got a long really well. We all stayed in a 101 year old school house which was the epitome of community living.
