I believe that both Iko Poran and CEMINA have given me a great opportunity to really become involved in their work, understand a little about the NGO sector in this country and sincerely make a difference.

I am really happy to have had the opportunity to work in such a different environment and within such a rich and diverse culture. The experience for me was meant to open my eyes and broaden my horizons - it has certainly done that and much more!

The people I have met, the challenges I have undertaken and the tangible successes I have had, have made my experience with CEMINA and Iko Poran something I will never forget. The whole experience has been an eye opener and been one of the most memorable aspects of my trip to South America.
