WHAT OUR VOLUNTEER SAY
"I went to Nea Makri on the Greek coastline to clean beaches, watch for forest fires and meet new people. I did all this and more. I discovered Greece and Greek people in a non-tourist way. I met people from across the globe and found that despite language difficulties it is possible to put people from different cultures together and they will make friends and enjoy themselves. The experience taught me that age and nationality are of little importance and that you do not have to spend money to have fun or see something beautiful. I made friends for life. Voluntary is about the people". (Hannah, Nea Makri, Greece)
"I will definitely do it again next summer , it was an unforgettable two weeks" (Aliya, Athens).
