HEAR IT FROM ABVMEDs

Overall, ABV provides a singular opportunity to experience new cultures in a manner that provides structure and contact points within that culture.

This experience has far surpassed my expectations. Each of the girls was special in their own way. I was also placed with the perfect host.

Volunteer work can be confusing, disorienting, and defeating, but in the end, this program was fufilling in every way I hoped it would be. Thank you to everyone in La Ceiba!

I really enjoyed my time in Ecuador! I couldn’t have asked for a better host family and I really did learn a lot about Ecuadorian healthcare.
