My last two adventures with Global Volunteers in Jamaica have taught me the advantages and joys of being a "servant-learner." No tourist gets to feel and see the real visited area like one of your travelers. I have made wonderful friends both with the fellow Global Volunteer teammates and with the persons from the host community. Visits to your sites provide the beginnings of true understanding of a given culture."

"When I get home, I know everyone is going to ask me if I had fun in Jamaica. How am I going to answer that? Of course I had fun--but I also gained so much more from this trip--things that can't be taught or learned in a classroom. And that's why, no matter how I'm feeling, I'm able to smile when I wake up in the morning and smile when I go to sleep at night. This has been one of the greatest experiences of my life!"

"I learned that simplicity is something that I can easily appreciate, and that life does not need to be full of stress, it should be full of smiles and laughter and love."
