Profile Information

About me:
Hey Everyone my name is Amber and I am 20 years old, I am a middle eastern dancer (belly dancer) and live in Tulsa Oklahoma. I went to Lima in September of 2008 and it was definitely an overwhelmingly wonderful experience. I have been wanting to volunteer with CCS ever since I was 14 and no I am at a place in my life where I am able to. I will be going to Guatemala City in August and I am again overly excited, its not only about traveling to another country but whether you visit 1 week or 11 you make a difference in someone's life. A hug and a smile will go along way where ever your placement is and I appreciate every person around the world that volunteers with CCS, we are making the world a better place one person at a time. Also, for the Americans we are changing the way other countries see us and that is very important.

Hey Amber,

Thanks for the tips. I'll definitely shoot for some bargains. I don't know if I'm ready to do paragliding or anything like that yet. I survived growing up in Brooklyn, NY so I'm not taking any more risks. Lol?

That's good to hear. Was there much of a weekend for you in only going for one week? And don't worry, I will be like a sponge when anybody teaches me something out there - I will absord everything! :D

Hello Amber!

My name is Curtis. I will be headed to Lima in 2009 (June). How much were you able to do (and see) in just one week? I'm doing the one week trip myself.

Talk to you soon,
C

I'm so excited too. I originally volunteered in Ghana, and I loved it so much that I started working for CCS. Since then I've visited our programs in Costa Rica and South Africa as a staff member, but I'm really excited to go to Lima to volunteer, not to work. I've heard so many great things about the program!

Hi Amber,

I'm going to Lima at the same time! I can't wait...I'm gonna send out that email that Emily sent us soon, but it is good to hear from you. What made you want to go to Lima?
