Madeleine M.'s Volunteer Experience in Buenos Aires

Hi, my name is Maggie Newton-Johnston. I go to Boston College, and I am here with Mente Argentina for the Spanish program and also volunteering. My favorite part about Mente has been, in the time since I have been here, getting to know the administrators, in addition to all the students and all the people who come through and stay here. It has been incredible. There are about two activities every week, and all of them are really fun. This past week we all packed together and went out to the famous cafes, and last week we went to Fuerza Bruta, which is an incredible performance show. The community in general, having that here, being able to go back to my host family, having a wonderful host family, they are loving, and they really helped me with my Spanish. The other people that I have met here, being able to travel around and continue with them, feeling comfortable with that, having a lot of amazing adventures, and exploring the city in general, has been great. That is my favorite part.
