    I don't know much to be honest. Didn't go to any of the meetings and applied last minute but now I'm really keen. All I know is it's more community development rather than teaching or anything. It's from feb-july. All the one I was talking to said it's actually suppose to be incredible. I think it would a class experience, only thing is I think 6 months is veryyy long time to spend there but it would probably fly! She said too that like once someone applies and they really want it, they get it no problem!

    Yeah, I'd like to know as well. I've put myself down for Argentina, but they said something about being able to 'change our options over the summer'.

    Depending on finances, Argentina could end up being a stretch.

    Yes! Argentina is the way to go!

    To help I heard that once you'e Ghana down, there is little to no application processes and you've basically got it in the bag.

    Wish Argentina were that simple! :P
