Program Reviews

It was great, the local team made sure that I had the best experience ever. While I was there, we experienced some huge flooding, so we helped the community recover from it, and it was a really strong experience.

I never thought before in front of the class, but I really enjoyed it; the children were adorable. The local team was really great !! Always nice and welcoming. The food was also really really good, and the accommodation was perfect.

The volunteering trip was truly amazing and eye-opening. Getting to know the local people and their culture really made this trip so significant for me. The volunteering work with the kids was amazing. Everything was well organized and I had so much fun being there and getting to help the teacher and the class. The local team were very helpful. They provided us with all the information on the local customs and traditions as well as what to expect from the visit. The food and accommodation were also very good. I was happy that I got to experience what it's like to live in a traditional Fijian home.

The volunteering was so much fun! The kids were super cute and loved to learn new things. The teachers at the school and the local guides at the accommodation help so much with for example translating or preparing the lessons. You also become so close with the other volunteers which is so much fun! I had the best time ever there! You also have so much free time after the teaching so you can explore the island!

The accommodation is located in Taling Ngam which is very local. The people there and the local team are so so kind and helpful. It is a little far though from all of the touristy things, however if you share the taxi costs with the other volunteers it's not that expensive anymore! The food was fine! We got food 3x a day during the week and on the weekends 2x. It was mostly rice and curry or vegetables however they did always make sure we had fruit which i loved!

It would be nice to maybe change up the food a little more, but other than that I am very satisfied with everything! The transportation to the school and the assistance we get is really good and the free transfer on the fridays was also really nice!

I volunteered to help look after some elephants on a sanctury . I’m 60 years old & was aware most volunteers would be much younger & I was right. The work was hard at times, especially with the heat, but the support & encouragement and advice I got was brilliant and I managed to complete my three weeks & do all jobs required. Hands on work with the elephants was fantastic. The local co-ordinating team were very helpful with all aspects. Accommodation & food was adequate and clean. Food wasn’t always to my liking but that’s just personal taste.

I liked the project. We learned the children a lot about nutrition and healthcare. The kids are very sweet. Everything was good.

First of all, I took the HOP HOP BUS to get from Lima to Cusco, and it was the best thing to do! I traveled the south for 8 days and discovered wonderful places: Paracas, Huacachina, Nazca, Arequipa, Puno,...Cusco is much bigger than I thought. It's a great city full of colors, culture, and folklore. People are very friendly. I was volunteering 400 meters higher than Cusco, and it was quite cold up there (3800 meters). I had a wonderful time with the lovely children. Rogelio, founder of the school, was such a nice man!

The local team was very kind, available, and helpful. The Spanish courses were a big '+'.Food was delicious: being vegetarian, I was so happy to have all these incredible vegetables and fruits in so many veggie restaurants. Accommodation was nice. It would have been much better to know where I was going to teach.... it was so cold and 'dirty' (building under construction).

It was impossible to wear a dress or a skirt. My suitcase was not appropriate for teaching there.... But I survived

I volunteered in Indonesia. I did their turtle conservation project in Nusa Penida. I loved how friendly the people were who also volunteered. Comments on local team, food, and accommodation, everything was very neat. The rooms were good, the food was fine, and the local team was really kind.

We collected waste on the streets, cared for the baby turtles (fed them, cleaned them, cleaned their tank), and on my last day, I was participating in letting them free :)

Comments on local team, food, and accommodation, the local team was sooo nice, helpful, and very openhearted! And even played live music for us daily, and organized a bonfire! Loved it!

The people were very welcoming. The local team arranged for everything, from pick-up over transport and accommodation to food, very well. It's so nice to see the eagerness of the children to learn. The children (and people in general) are so polite, respectful and joyful. Great to see them open up to you when they get their trust and confidence. As mentioned above, the local team coordinated, supported, communicated, facilitated in a superb way! , I do understand that this might be difficult, but it would help the volunteers to prepare methods/tools/games/.

The trip was so interesting in terms of the diverse activities we did and the animals we could see. It was a dream to see the savanna and the animals, and we had the opportunity to do a safari in Masai Mara, which was amazing. We didn't expect to do that many activities, we visited tourist places in the first 2 weeks. The weather was great, sunny but not too hot, and then it became hotter and hotter, but still nice. The program with the giraffes was amazing, seeing these giants for real and in the natural environment is something else. They are such wonderful animals, and we are grateful to have helped with their conservation. The local team was helpful, kind, and Laban is the best guide! They made our experience in Kenya unforgettable and easy. We really appreciated the food, and the accommodation was great, except for some water issues but always solved in 1 day. Maybe updating some info on the website because it is written "no wifi" in the accommodation.
