Working with Volunteering Journeys was a wonderful experience. Loved every minute of it. The staff, the volunteers and participants all made it an unforgettable experience. The accommodation was very sufficient and the food was authentic and yummy. I loved getting to know everyone. The Women's Empowerment program was as enriching for me as it was for the participants. The volunteers all pitched in to do their parts and as a result we provided wonderful lessons. Outings were organized so that we could enjoy the country and culture of Kerala.

Ridhi Patel, the founder, is quite the amazing person. Besides this organization, she is also owns a sustainable swimwear design company called Cocopalms. If you volunteer there make sure to ask to see the swimwear. I would love to go back and stay

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?

Learning and practicing how to eat with your hands.

Cons

Some mosquitoes

I had an amazing experience in Fort Kochi, Kerala, South India. I taught English in two different government schools, working with children aged 8 to 11. The pupils were so responsive and welcoming and it was a joy to be part of a local school community.

The volunteer house was super and I felt at home straight away, under the support and guidance of a really strong team of local staff, who were always on hand to deal with any issues or to suggest local sights to see. The accommodation was comfortable and meals provided were so tasty and lovingly cooked by local staff members.

This is an excellent way to visit a country and experience it from the inside. I will definitely be looking to do it again in the not too distant future.

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?

Next time i would stay for longer.
