Transformative experience with VIA

I was a VIA Fellow for 2 year in Yangon, Myanmar from 2012 through 2014. This was truly a transformative experience for me and I've recommended VIA very highly to many friends and contacts since. VIA has a small but committed group of staff members who have passion for their work and vast experience in creating strong partnerships with local organizations and schools in the countries in which they place fellows. I really felt that my voice was not only heard by VIA staff but welcomed too. They are great about giving fellows leadership roles and in supporting us in terms of cultural adaptation and development of professional skills. I wouldn't exchange my time with VIA for anything.
