Leila Abulashin, Volunteer in Jordan

Leila Abulashin, 22 years old, volunteer in 2011

Describe your volunteer work experience.

I went into this volunteer experience with open arms willing to do whatever it takes to help the organization and the people of Jordan. I worked on several projects that I believe could make a great difference or a great impact on the company (such as a newsletter and a small documentary that I filmed, edited and put together).

It was a great experience where I was able to learn about the organization, myself and my capabilities volunteering for JREDS. I developed skills I didn't have before and learned how to use new programs I have never used before. The people I worked with were kind, understanding and were there if I had any questions which was nice.

Please provide a testimonial of your experience with as much detail as possible.

My experience in Jordan was an amazing experience, from the moment I arrived I became immersed in the culture. I learned so much about the country, the people and myself through my volunteer quest in Jordan.

The people I met in Jordan were friendly and were willing to make me feel welcome in their country. I would recommend this quest to people interested in making a difference and are willing to be immersed in the culture.
