Rédaction My experience at the home in Guatemala was truly meaningful. Through this cultural exchange, I had the opportunity to share my culture with the children, create together, and learn from their energy, curiosity, and enthusiasm. It was a beautiful reminder of how cultural exchange can bring people closer and create lasting memories. A heartfelt thank you to Director Madame Belsi for welcoming me and making this experience possible, and to the entire the home team for their support, kindness, and collaboration throughout my stay. I leave with wonderful memories.
