This volunteer program is falsely advertised and I would not recommend it

Hello everyone,
I participated in the six-month climate activist program, but only stayed there for two months. The decision to leave the program was very difficult for me, because it costs a lot of money and you only get a small part of it back if you leave within the first two months. Apart from the financial aspect, I met a lot of great people there who I now consider my friends. It was hard to leave them.
But the reasons for leaving were much more compelling. The following refers only to the volunteer program and not to the country SVG, because the country and the culture are fantastic.
It is important to note that the focus is on the "living in a community" aspect and not on the "doing something about climate change" aspect. This means that we keep the school running around the clock. We clean, cook, wash up, cut trees, dig ditches, build flower beds, ...
It's also good to know that the academy often runs out of water and sometimes electricity too. It's actually nice that 100% of the electricity comes from our own solar pellets. However, it becomes difficult when machines such as the fridge don't run for two days. So it's not surprising that the food goes bad. In general, hygiene in the kitchen was not the best. I know that hygiene standards are different all over the world, but I think everyone can agree that it's not nice to have lots of insects in the kitchen and in the flour bin or that we have to clean our dishes with bleach, because we run out of dishwashing liquid.
It wouldn't be a problem if the daily life in RVA and the fact that the focus is on the "living in a community" aspect would have been communicated BEFORE the project started. Every volunteer came with the hope of making a difference and having a positive impact. Unfortunately, this was not the case. That's also the main reason why I left. I felt like I was wasting my time there doing work that only helped RVA.
Another problem was the teachers. Almost none of them had much knowledge or professional background in climate change. Sometimes they used presentations they had copied from the internet without even understanding them properly. When we asked questions that went beyond the surface, they didn't know the answer or gave scientifically incorrect answers. In those two months, I learned more from the locals in my team than from all the teachers there. Also, most of the teachers are in a group called "Tvind" or "Teachers Group". Google says it's a cult known for making money with greenwashing or moneywashing projects ;). Some teachers are very problematic themselves in my opinion. Things were said like "If women drink alcohol, they shouldn't be surprised if they get raped". In addition, one of the teachers forced me to feed and pet a dog after this very dog had attacked me. I had never been afraid of dogs before, but after this attack I was terrified, and my teacher's statement "You have to get over your fear" was not helpful at all at that moment.
When we expressed criticism, they didn't take it seriously... They pretended to take it seriously, but none of the structures ever changed. It often felt more like a power play between teachers and students than a constructive discussion.
In general, the teachers there are very unprofessional and not trustworthy at all.
I applied for this program a year before it started. At the time, I was told to hurry as there were only a few places available. I found out from my teammates that almost everyone had only applied a few months before the program started. So they deliberately put pressure on me to accept quickly.
My work as a volunteer was taken for granted and not appreciated at all. It is a poor and chaotic organization that I would not recommend participating in.
If you are still considering participating in this program, I recommend you ask your contact person a lot of questions and think critically.
