Orphanage Outreach

"Orphanage Outreach is an amazing trip that was a life changing experience for me. I gained a greater appreciation and reminder for all the small things in life. I went into going on this trip a little hesitant the first time. But now I know that this is something that I will continue to be apart of for the rest of my life, whether I go a few more times or every few years. Going on this trip the first time was a huge step out of my comfort zone, and I am so glad I did! I never thought it would be somewhere where I would want to keep visiting. This trip will surprise you, and will teach you so much. "

"Orphanage Outreach is the most amazing organization I have ever seen. They kept me safe, happy, and gave me many many many opportunities for a new experience. I will definitely be using Orphanage Outreach in the future."

"I never thought this adventure would feel so organized and completely satisfying. I'm so grateful to have helped serve and definitely plan to send others back for weeks and have them apply for internships. I would also see myself doing an internship with the english institute or health education, possibly starting next January."

"Orphanage Outreach opened my eyes to how much serving abroad can make a real impact. The program is made up of a community of locals and volunteers that share a common interest - to love, and to serve."

"I absolutely love kids and to combine service with spanish made me choose OO."

" A wonderful organization that is truly there to help the children in the orphanages it supports and the surrounding communities. They are their making small and big differences through moments, concrete, education, health, wellness and gestures of love while at the same time changing and effecting greatly the people they ask to come and help them with the cause."

"Orphanage Outreach is doing amazing work in the Dominican Republic. Once you are there it is very obvious that a lot of work has gone into running such a program. Amazing people doing amazing things. Consider becoming a volunteer and get involved, you will be glad you did."

"I have been coming to the Dominican Republic/Orphanage Outreach with both community college students and our church youth group for the past five years. It is the most rewarding experience I have had in 30 years as a nurse educator. I have learned so much about the need for nurses to play an active role in global health as well as the healing power of caring."

"I'm so honored to say I'm a part of OO. "

"I really enjoyed my time with Orphanage Outreach and always remember it as a positive experience in my life. I'm really glad I took the time out of my winter break to go to the Dominican Republic and serve at the orphanage. Those children will always be in my heart."

"This experience truly changes your perspective. The children are beyond amazing and the OO staff is so well organized and enthusiastic to help you make this experience perfect. Nothing in the world beats the love, hope, and affection you receive from the kids."

"Orphanage outreach is one of the best programs that serve children that i have ever been a part of. I went with the mindset that i was there to serve the children and in return they served me with something that no words can explain. I left there with such fulfillment and a piece of me will always be there and with each of those children; they truly touched my heart. "

"Orphanage Outreach is a wonderful, eye-opening experience whether you do it for a week or an entire year!"

"An experience that will humble you and make your realize just how good you have it, even if you think you don't. Being a volunteer will change your life, even if just for a short while. You might not realize what you have done for someone else, until it finally hit's you in the face, they do really care."

"Orphanage Outreach is one of those rare gems in the world. You go there with the idea that you'll be teaching kids and you come back having learned more then you could imagine. "

"Orphanage Outreach truly gives you a whole new perspective upon life. The children and the staff teach you so much about life and about yourself. Once you experience the interactions amongst the people in Monte Cristi you never want to leave, I for one cannot wait to return. "

"An organization that is, little by little, helping children in Monte Cristi and other parts of the Dominican reach their potential. "

"Orphanage Outreach has provided individuals around the world with the amazing opportunity to help others. They have embedded the idea that everyone can be their own hero if they just release the hero within. This organization is a reputable one that provides a safe and secure experience. They are very well organized and are always willing to help throughout every step of the way. Orphanage Outreach is doing amazing things in the Dominican Republic, and I am proud to be a part of everything they are doing in Monte Cristi and the surrounding communities. They are making a difference in the lives of so many people, including the lives of each and every volunteer who comes to the orphanage. "

"Orphanage Outreach gave me the chance to serve others, and in doing so, to have been served myself. Something happened in my time in the Dominican Republic that truly made me a better person. Without the help of OO, this life changing experience would not have been possible."

"OO is a wonderful organization that makes it very easy for an individual to get involved. One person can make a difference, and with the help of OO, it is extremely easy to do so. Serving with OO is a life changing experience that you will never forget."

This trip was probably the best experience of my life and has given me a clearer direction to my future. "
