Last night we had a Welcome Dinner for our 13 new volunteers who have travelled from Canada, Germany, Switzerland, Austria and the US to come and work for VE. We are excited to have them here!
Today is their first day of orientation where they will learn all about living in Santiago, but we have some useful tips to help them settle quickly into Chilean life:
1. Learn and use as many chilenismos as you can!
2. Check out La Vega for fresh fruit and vegetables at great prices.
3. Visit Emporio La Rosa to try the delicious ice cream.
