After volunteering with IVHQ in Bali my life has done a complete 180. I went to teach English however came home learning way more than expected. Each child I met left an imprint. I share my experience every chance I get. I'll be volunteering again with IVHQ this December in Guatemala, and each year plan on setting a new destination.
