My experience in Panama

Global Business Brigades, Panama, Student Groups Abroad, Volunteer, Winter 2022 / March 22, 2022 by Mays Abroad

When I first signed up for the program i really did not know what to really expect I had a general idea but not the full picture. When I left on the plane on the first day I was a bit anxious due to me having social anxiety and me being more introverted. When we first met the group in Panama and got to understand each other more I had a blast playing sports and such with the locals while also helping teach them about ways to help make their business grow and teach them about financial literacy. Locals there are extremally friendly and help us along the way with work to help teach others and along with the customs of the region. It was such a pleasant experience and also taught me to help view the world from a different set of eyes then the ones I have. Even as an introvert who is more to myself I could not recommend this program anymore to everyone!?
