The biggest thing I learned while in Peru was how little perspective I had beforehand. I know that sounds really cliché, but it’s true.

MAKE A STRANGER HAPPY

United Planet Volunteer Vanessa, upon her return to the US, started a project called “MASH” - or “Make a Stranger Happy” - to collect donations for her two volunteer projects, Clinica Posta Ttio and Orphanage Aldea Infantil. Thanks, Vanessa, for continuing to make a difference! We miss you here in Peru!

I tried to come to Peru without expectations, but I still sort of had some, you know? And it was so cool to get here and have everything be so much better than I ever could have hoped for

It’s the little things about my volunteer project that I love. On my first day I helped a kid learn how to play Sudoku, and he understood me despite my basic level of Spanish. I can definitely see how it’s possible to make a difference.
