Ameer's volunteering experience in Medellín
One of my favorite parts of this experience was seeing how my relationships with the kids (and adults) of La Divisa grew over time. Week by week, I could see the students becoming more open, comfortable, and accepting of me.
I found it very rewarding to get to know some of the kids on a personal level, and once I was able to earn their trust and respect it became much easier and more enjoyable to teach.
