My day-to-day activities in South Africa […]

Connect-123 placed me in a fantastic Architecture firm. They gave me a lot of responsibility and therefore, it was a great experience learning how to use programs like Auto CAD, SketchUp […]

I spent a little over a month in Buenos Aires. By far that has been one of the best experiences yet. The city is absolutely beautiful. The people were amazing. There was always something to do. I thought the volunteer program was lots of fun. I’m very grateful for Connect-123. Best summer ever.

My short time in Cape Town has made an everlasting impact on my life. Flying for 26 hours and landing in the Mother City was the most amazing feeling of accomplishment and belonging I have ever felt. Not only was the landscape amazing, but the people are what made my trip great. South Africa has […]

I want to start off by thanking Sydney McNally, Beth Watson, and Eimear Costigan; if it were not for them I would never have had this amazing opportunity; or made the decision to come from Canada to Cape Town. To make a long story short I cannot begin to express the gratification I have towards […]

Coming to Cape Town truly changed my perspective in life. I work as an Interior Designer in Melbourne and this year, my sister and I took time off to travel and see the world. We were both seeking a unique experience and came across Connect-123’s programme – made a harmless enquiry and it snowballed from […]
