I am so grateful for my time at LHI! The team is so friendly, supportive, dedicated and helpful and do everything they can to make sure everyone has a good time. Working with the refugees is more than enriching as every day you learn something about different cultures, how to deal with difficult situations and about yourself and your own position in the world. It's incredible what interesting, touching and thought-provoking situations you get to experience every day in the field. The varied shifts made the time go by far too quickly and I wish I could support this great project for longer!
