Go and Volunteer Abroad - and Select A Broader View Volunteers! Back in August 2017, I was extremely fortunate to identify a wonderful non-profit volunteer organization, A Broader View Volunteers (ABV), in my desire to perform my first orphanage volunteer work in Ghana Africa. They connected me with a very special group of people from a refugee camp in Ghana who stole my heart. I fell in love with the children and consider those running the orphanage/ school very dear friends. At the end of my assignment, a poignant life changing experience, I was counting down the days to return which occurred August 2019. From my first trip onward, I stay connected with these remarkable people to support them financially and in many other ways as their needs are many. To present day, ABV continues to be instrumental and supportive of my requests on behalf of this orphanage. Over and above both assignments that ABV very effectively prepared me for, they have been a true partner that continues to support of the many needs that this orphanage has on behalf of many beautiful children. I am so fortunate to have found ABV and will always be grateful that they placed me exactly where I belonged.

I went through three weeks in the… I went through three weeks in the Belize halfway house as a feature of the A Broader View program. I helped in the preschool making ensembles for a motorcade. It was a superb time. The children and grown-ups had an awesome time. I likewise worked in the yards with raking and cleaning. A few days I assisted with schoolwork also. My facilities were great. I had my very own home and it was without bug and cool around evening time. The wifi in the workplace worked incredible. Sarah at ABV was exceptionally responsive and strong all through my whole program.

It's great to be back in the comforts of our own home but it's also heartbreaking to be away from the people we grew to love so much in Kathmandu, Nepal. Two weeks wasn't a lot of time, of course, but we felt like we gained a lot of new family members while we were there, and that made it so hard to leave. Thank you to ABV for all that they do so that we could have such a marvelous experience as a family. It really was everything we were hoping it might be when we first started investigating potential groups to work with.

Its a great organization Its a great organization. I volunteered with them once, and it was amazing.

A Broader View was very organized and… A Broader View was very organized and answered all questions in a prompt matter. They made sure you felt welcomed which was very important to me. My only recommendation would be to inform us ahead of time of our placements and what type of volunteer work would we help with just to be better prepared to assist the communities.
