THE MYTH OF BIG CITIES USUALLY VOLUNTEERS WANT TO GO IN THE BIG CITIES, but according to the feedbacks we recieve all the time, THE BEST EXPERIENCES HAve BEEN IN SMALL AND AVeRAGE CITIES, NOT IN BIG METROPOLeS. THE TIME THEY SPENT GOING TO WORK IS LESS AND GETTING TO KNOW LOCALS IS MUCH EASIER IN THE SMALL OR MEDIUM CITIES.
