“Coming to South Africa was the first time I left the United States beside going to Canada or Mexico. VAC made me feel welcome in a foreign country, and they truly care about making sure you enjoy your stay. Without VAC, I wouldn’t have been able to meet so many different people and see so many of this beautiful country. I highly recommend VAC for students interning in South Africa. I won’t ever forget the amazing experiences that I’ve had here. Thank you VAC!”
