| “I’ve never left a trip wanting to return as much as I have with this particular stay in Jarang, Nepal. At first I was super anxious, no electricity? No running water? Manual labor? Ehhh… But, when I got here my mindset did a 180. Now, I’m like electricity? Who needs it? And running water? Give me a bucket of cold water on a hot day and I’m set. This trip has finally taught me what’s necessary in life. Water, Dal Bhat, an occasional shower and a job to do. Oh, and an overbearing Aama who loves you with all her heart after three days.” |

| “I am currently on my Edge of Seven volunteer project in Thailand, and am having an extremely dynamic experience. Previously, I was in India for five weeks with my first Edge of Seven project. What I have been the most impressed with is how the Edge of Seven truly paired me with assignments that I am passionate about and where I can use my talents and strengths as well. After my first project concluded in India, I left knowing I truly made a lasting contribution which is the feeling every volunteer seeks with such an experience. I am excited to continue my work in Thailand and continue learning about how people combine their compassionate hearts for those in need and sharp minds to fully accomplish significant goals all while assimilating to the Thai culture.” |

| “This has been a wonderful experience for me and my wife. It has been a milestone in our lives. I loved working on the school with the volunteers and skilled Nepali workers. I really enjoyed meeting and being welcomed by the Nepali people of Jarang. I feel part of the family. Thanks for taking us into your home and making us feel loved and the endearing memories that will last forever.” |

| “Volunteering for Edge of Seven in Nepal was incredibly challenging and rewarding. I experienced living in a culture radically different from what I was used to, and came away with close friends and a deep understanding of different cultures in that country. The Edge of Seven staff was incredibly helpful and professional. The program provides the peace of mind that makes volunteering abroad a pleasure, not a question mark.” |
