DGH Field Blog

The orientation to volunteering with DGH was an opportunity for past DGH volunteers to share their experiences with the application process and in their respective communities with those who are considering becoming volunteers.

Sara Doorley went through the on-line application process, explaining how the International Volunteer Committee reviews applications and matches volunteers with the site that best fits their interests and abilities.

Hello friends of DGH,

Everyone here in Santa Marta is in recovery mode after the huge celebration of “Regreso a Casa”- “Return Home” on October 10th. Three nights in a row of dancing, pupusa-eating, and ferris-wheel riding took its toll on me too, so I spent most of yesterday in the hammock.
