Active Retirement Ireland Travel Award 2015

"Volunteering in Mexico was a great intercultural experience for me. It helped me to realise my potential as a retired person, by sharing my experience and life skills with people less fortunate than myself. I have gained a new and extended family in Queretaro. The people, scenery, food, and music were magic!"
