Global Crossroad

I have many words to say, but to save our time, I prefer you can directly check my daily life record in my instagram account. @miss.fang66. So you can know I’m a real person, and my real experiences.

I traveled alone, I attended other volunteer program to Philippines before, 2024/2/25-3/8 I went to Nepal with the help from global crossroad organization.

I joined for one week English teaching and one week medical program. Those are great experiences for me.

Besides, I am a 31 years old female, have formal job (I took 2 weeks off for this), just want you to know never too late to do this. And I hope I can help people who want to join but still concerns.

This was one of the best trips of my life if you need thorough info on Nepal and how the project was u can just send me a massage on Instagram (@aryannaghavi) or write me in WhatsApp and I’ll be more than happy to give you all the useful information (003670357698)
You are gonna sleep with a local family and they provide you with a breakfast and dinner. The food is delicious the place has easy access to everywhere. I took bus every day and paid 20 cents each time. Every morning you work at hospital from 9 to 2-3 pm (nobody will tell you when to come when to go it’s up to you I ditched half of the days :))) overall it was an awesome experience

I wanted to take a trip that would be adventurous and fulfilling for the whole family. My kids are 15 and 12 years old. We have been so privileged to have what we do in the United States and I wanted to share what we could of our time and donations to those that don't.

What better way to open your heart than to see experience it with young children at an orphanage? It was the perfect balance of volunteering and free time for adventures. My son did get sick and Global Crossroads was so helpful in helping us navigate our way around the health system and to translate for us when we really needed it.

This type of experience you can only learn from doing it and not reading about it or hoping someday you will get to go when the time is right. It is not easy but if you are thinking even a little bit about it just apply and go! There is no way you will regret it and GC is there to answer all your questions.

My family and I went volunteering at an orphanage, and I can confidently say that the experience has been nothing short of heartwarming and transformative. Working with children in need has opened my eyes to the strength and resilience that these young souls possess, making my time spent at the orphanage an unforgettable journey of love and compassion.

From the moment I stepped through the orphanage's doors, I was greeted with the warmest smiles and heartfelt gratitude. The children, despite their challenging circumstances, radiated an innocence and spirit that was infectious. Their enthusiasm for life and their ability to find joy in the simplest of things were truly humbling.

One of the most rewarding aspects of working in an orphanage was the opportunity to build meaningful connections with the children. Each child had a unique personality, and we felt privileged to be a part of their lives, even if only for a short period. My interactions with them ranged from playtime and educational activities to providing emotional support and guidance. Witnessing their smiles and calmness over time was immensely gratifying.

The orphanage staff was an incredible team of dedicated individuals who shared a genuine passion for the well-being of the children. Their tireless efforts to create a nurturing environment and provide essential resources were commendable. They were always ready to lend a helping hand, ensuring that both the children and us volunteers received the support needed to thrive.

Throughout my volunteer journey, I learned valuable life lessons that have left a lasting impact on me. Patience, empathy, and resilience were just a few of the virtues that the children unknowingly imparted to me. Additionally, working in an orphanage highlighted the importance of community and reminded me of the positive impact that simple acts of kindness can have on someone's life.

It is important to acknowledge that working with children in an orphanage can also be emotionally challenging. Witnessing the hardships that some of these children faced and their longing for a stable family environment tugged at my heartstrings. However, the strength and resilience they displayed in the face of adversity inspired me to do my best to contribute positively to their lives.

In conclusion, working with children in an orphanage has been a life-changing experience that I would highly recommend to anyone seeking a meaningful and rewarding volunteer opportunity. The joy of making a difference in these children's lives, even in small ways, is unparalleled. The love and gratitude you receive in return is immeasurable. My time spent at the orphanage has taught me the true essence of compassion, and I will forever cherish the memories of the precious souls who touched my heart.

Working with children in the schools and orphanage in Tanzania was a very rewarding experience. At the orphanage I got to see how the orphanage was managed and helped to wash clothes and prepare the daily meal. The small school I worked at was so rewarding. The children were a delight and the teachers were so welcoming.It was an honour to be able to observe and help the teachers. My host Mama Alice was amazing. I also went on a safari, a waterfall and coffee tour. An absolutely fantastic experience.
