"Who would have thought so much change can occur with one visit"
"I had no idea how life-changing my experience would be. I came to Ecuador to hold and play with kids. I left with a place in my heart for everyone of them. I am a better person because of them and this experience."
- Jerrod (Rexburg, Idaho)
"My Donation Helps God's Beloved Children
"It brings me joy to know that my small donation is going to help children who cannot help themselves. In this way, my donation becomes a manifestation of my love for God by loving His most beloved children."
- Megan (Rexburg, Idaho)
"My life changed forever"
"I volunteered with OSSO back in 2019. Changed my life forever! Although it can be a lot of work and the homesickness is hard, this is an experience I would never take away! Great place to volunteer, so please consider giving your time to those that need it!"
