SYV offers such a multidimensional experience. With this trip I saw so many perspectives of the country and was able to analyze and process these perspectives thoroughly. Not only do you get to be a part of something so crucial to Rwanda’s future but you also are able to extensively learn about it’s past, something so important in making the most of your experience. I have participated in many short-term service trips in the past and ASYV was by far the most meaningful experience. If one is looking for a service-learning trip ASYV is the way to go.
