	Working with children in Lipova Lazne (small mountain spa) near Jesenik town, Eastern Bohemia. Mary Grandy / Czech Republic ~ 2008
	"I had an amazingly wonderful time there. Really, it was the most fun I have ever had. I would actually really like to fill out one of those reports and send you guys pictures for the people who go there in the future. My experience in Prague really inspired me to learn at least one other language and hopefully more in the future." Miranda Gerzon / Czech Republic ~ 2004
	At a Festival Project "We played hard and we worked hard. There was amazing camaraderie and wonderful singing and laughter as we worked. I particularly enjoyed the experience of learning about each other's cultures and learning some of all the languages…I would return to this camp in a flash." Nell Rodgers / Czech Republic ~ 2001
	Volunteers in Czech Republic do restoration work and make do-it-yourself solar panels. "I not only feel good about contributing my time and effort to the countries I visited but my visits themselves were infinitely more interesting than quick glimpses of the tourist areas would have been". Marissa Jones / Czech Republic ~ 1998

"I recently participated in CZEINEX2.3-01, a workcamp based in the town of Veltrusy, in the Czech Republic. It was an excellent experience. I found the camp was well organized and our time was well spent. The people I met provided me witha new view of the world, exposing me to the ideas and opinions of people my age who have grown up in cultures both similar and very different than my own. Ultimately, by spending time with these people I realized that there was not all thatmuchdifference between us. Moreover, I found volunteering a very rewarding experience. I discovered that as a tourist, by nature, youspend time exploring a place you have no realright to be. As a volunteer I was consumed by a sense of purpose.As I walked down the street I felt as though, for two short weeks, I was a real member of the community. This sense of belonging was unlike any I have felt. Thank you VFP for providingthe opportunity for me to have this very special experience." David DeFranza / Czech Republic - 2001
