“It is first time when I joined volunteer project. I knew that it will be interesting. In real life it was even more interesting than I could expect. During the project I saw real Indonesia and it is better way to explore, because in the project you are working together with many people, local and not only, and you can see many things which you will never see if you are just tourists… Also found many new friends, from Indonesia and other countries. Specially organization GREAT is really correct, professional, and helpful. For future volunteers can suggest to join projects of GREAT. And have a fun there! :)”
