International Experience Summary:

While in Paraguay, I studied Spanish for six weeks one on one with a teacher.  I also traveled to museums, saw the Paraguayan river and even played a little basketball with the local children.  I traveled to cities hours away so I could get to see all of Paraguay.  I helped out at two orphanages while helping feed, cloth, and just to help bring out a smile from the children. They were just happy to see someone who cared.  I took many pictures and learned all about the culture and traditions of Paraguay.  It was a wonderful experience and I can not wait to go back!
