Volunteering Projects in Panama

Volunteer Feedback from Panama

Its heart warming to say the least. It is an easy community to become involved with, and they are incredibly appreciative of anything you do. I wanted to go somewhere to make a difference, and here I feel as though I am doing that. To be honest, since this is my first time volunteering I had no idea what to expect, but I chose this placement because of the region, and the opportunity to learn a little Spanish. I expected to be here for three months, so far I have been here for just over four. - Vicki

People can spend a lifetime searching for their passion and a sense of purpose. I am thankful for the GVN Panama Volunteer Coordinators, two people who have found their passion and dedicate their being to service for others. Through them I have realized that I can make an impact. Boquete was my first true service experience, and thanks to Kaytee & Oscar, I will continue to pursue this newfound passion! - Kristian

In the short week I was there, I fell in love with Boquete, the kids, and I enjoyed all the volunteers I met, and of course Kaytee & Oscar. I've never felt more inspired and encouraged in my life. I am already planning my trip back for Spring Break, I can not wait! Katyee and Oscar make you feel so special, welcomed, and a part of their family. It's truly amazing! - Kelsey

The 4 weeks I spent in Boquete were life changing. The experience was more incredible then I could have ever imagined. I left a part of my heart in Boquete. I have been home less then two weeks and I am already planning my trip back. What Kaytee & Oscar have established [...] is inspirational! - Lauren

Such a great organization!!! This was the best volunteer experience of my life. GVN's partner organisation is doing such great things for the community. I think that everyone should be given the same opportunity that I had because it was life-changing. Keep up the good work! - Meg

Kaytee & Oscar are such good people! I am so happy I was able to be apart of this organization, and see & particatipate in what they are doing in Boquete. After 3 months in Panama, I was 100% sure that I will continue volunteering in the future thanks to [them]. I can gladly say I started in Boquete with them. Without a doubt life changing. Thanks!! - Dan

I had an amazing experience in Panama. I chose to volunteer so I could get to know the Panamanians and their culture as more than just a tourist. I liked this program because of the amount of  different projects i could get involved in. The Panamanians where very friendly and welcoming. I was involved in teaching English, volunteering at a teen centre and an orphanage. It was a great experince, volunteering in Panama. I met some amazing people who will be friends for life! - Courtney
