Speaker 1: I'm from the United States, and my name is Andre Sauer. I'm a student at John
Brown University in Arkansas. Speaker 2: Why did you choose A Broader View
to volunteer? Speaker 1: I chose A Broader View, so that
I could experience Peru a little bit more, and also help out in Cusco.
Speaker 2: Why did you choose Cusco to volunteer? Speaker 1: I chose Cusco, because this is
a place very rich in history. It's near [inaudible 00:00:35], and also, it's very important to
Peru. Speaker 2: How has the experience of volunteering
in Cusco Peru been, so far? Speaker 1: It's really been a life-changing
experience. I've appreciated everything that I've experienced, and learned a lot of valuable
lessons. I definitely am glad that I chose to do this.
Speaker 2: What has been the best part of the program?
Speaker 1: Definitely, my volunteer assignment has been the best. It's been very rewarding,
helping with the children in the orphanage, learning their stories, and being with them,
and showing them love. Speaker 2: How has your host family, the food,
and the accommodations? Speaker 1: My host family have been incredible.
They've been very welcoming, very kind to me, very patient with me learning Spanish,
and all. The food has been incredible. I've enjoyed pretty much everything about my family.
Very caring and loving family. Speaker 2: How was your experience with the
U.S. Staff office and Cusco Peru staff? Speaker 1: I've appreciated the staff, both
inside and outside the USA. Both have been very welcoming, and surprising how much they've
taken an interest in me, and wanted to make sure that I'm doing well.
Speaker 2: What can other volunteers bring while volunteering in Cusco, Peru, and what
can they bring as donations? Speaker 1: With my experience in the orphanage,
I saw the need for a lot of sunscreen, because we're so close to the sun, here, as well as
a lot of toothpaste. Speaker 2: Will you recommend A Broader View
to other volunteers? Speaker 1: Absolutely. This has been a great
experience for me, and I recommend it to anybody, to get outside of yourself and volunteer in
a foreign country. Speaker 2: Thank you so much for volunteering
with us.
