<p>Anyone else in or was in this program? I am going to Paraguay this summer, I can't wait!! Post past experiences or the country that you are going to this summer!</p>
<p>amigslink.org is the website if you want more information</p>
<p>I’m going summer 2011 (too young right now), but I’m REALLY excited already. =D I think it’s going to be an amazing experience, and I’ll finally be able to experience life as it is for the poorer areas of the world. I won’t lie, I’m nervous about the idea of being away from home for 6 weeks, but I’m sure it will be worth it.</p>
<p>Good luck in Paraguay!!!</p>
<p>I was in Nicaragua in 2010 and last summer in Paraguay. BEST experiences of my life. Sometimes I can’t believe that its over. Hoping to be a supervisor sometime in college. Made me want to learn more about sustainability&community development, and made me want to travel!</p>
<p>Hello,
I have been searching CC for info regarding Gap Year programs - most specifically any that another member has actually experienced - or perhaps know someone who did. My son received early admission to his top school and would like to take next year off. He would like to go to a Spanish speaking country and focus on service/volunteer work. Home stay is also preferable. Some of the posters on this thread appear to have had some favorable experiences with some organizations. Anything to share, endorse, forewarn against? I would appreciate hearing about specific organizations that have provided safe and rewarding, well run experiences. Thanks all.
