Program Reviews

My volunteering experience in Bali was truly amazing!

The Introduction week was great (we visited Temples, Ubud, a traditional dance show, made Batic Painting & much more!) and after that, my project in the kindergarten started.
You have to work from 8-10h with 30 Minutes break. The kids are 5-6 years old, and don‘t know much English, so you have to teach them the basics very playfully. Working in the kindergarten can be very loud, but overall it‘s fun and the kids have are so sweet and thankfull!

On the afternoon you can chill at the pool or make day trips to waterfalls,go out for dinner in Ubud or even go to the beach (45 Min drive).

On the weekends nearly nobody stays in the accomondation, everyone goes on trips to discover more of Bali.

It was such a great experience and the time went by so fast. I would definetly recommend it!

My friend and I went to Antigua, Guatemala for over a month and participated in the volunteering of child care and construction. We absolutely loved this experience and all the people from all around the world. We did volunteering from about 8:30-12 every day and it was full of laughs and great conversations while creating a change in the world. We build soccer goals and a treehouse in a school, it was so much fun and rewarding. My highlights included meeting new people from all around the world every single week and it was so nice to have a support network while travelling overseas. I would highly recommend for friends and families and anyone and I would certainly do again.

The accommodation was amazing, my friend and I stayed with a host family and it was the best experience. The room was clean and it was nice staying with other people from across the world too. Our host mum cooked us breakfast and dinner everyday and we loved trying the local food while improving our spanish. The local team was so supportive and was there to answer any and all questions.

Since we stayed for a long time it was very easy to go see the amazing attractions Guatemala offers like the volcanos, Mayan ruins and lakes. They were all so gorgeous and it was defiantly exciting getting to see a new culture. We mainly did construction volunteering with Fredy and it stared at 8:30 in the morning which was a really good time and went till 12. We helped out a special needs school and got to supply them with a more colourful and fun environment with a treehouse that could double as a private classroom for one on one sessions. Overall it was an unforgettable experience that will be cherished.

I stayed with a host family (Jessica) and they were so accomodating, the room was lovely and the food was delicious even though I definitely had to try some new things. The local team was always happy to help with questions and were very flexible with getting you the schedule you desired,

I really had a great time volunteering here in Bali. It was a great experience and I’m glad to be able to do it. I met such lovely people here in the volunteer community. It feels good to do something on purpose, to have a positive impact on local community and making this world a better place by giving back. I recommend volunteering for everyone. It’s beneficial for others aswell as for oneself. I enjoyed it!

The Team was great! Very loving and welcoming! Always there for us when we have questions or when we have anything to talk about! The food is very delicious and hygienic! The accommodation was satisfying to me. Very clean.

Tell us as much as you can about your volunteering trip! What were the highlights of your trip? What was the day to day volunteering like at the shelter?
Looking after dogs, cats and puppies was my main task. Taking them for a walk and giving them lots of love is the best thing you can do. Some of them went through a lot so they needed you much more.
Comments on local team, food and accommodation
Perfect! So grateful for the everyone I got to know the last two weeks! Accommodation & food were great!

It was very wholesome to see how the coordinators worked with the turtles. They knew a lot and told us everything about them, that we wanted to know. They helped us with anything and everything. And i really appreciated the effort to get to know every single person on this project. We sometimes had to clean the tanks of the turtles and brush and feed them or we would do beach cleaning or crab catching. We had a lot of free time.

As i said i felt very welcomed. The food was good, i liked the traditional food. And the accommodations were hood too. I didn’t expect a air conditioner but it helped a lot. The little resort with the garden and pool was very pretty.

Bali - Healthcare Education in Sigatoka, Fiji. I only did teaching the second week as the school was closed the first week.
The local team were great. The food could use a little more variation and the accomodation was good.

I volunteered on the healthcare education program on the Coral Coast in Fiji for two weeks. The land and the people were amazing. I loved being there. The food was the best and I enjoyed every meal.

Highlights of the volunteering program... 4 hours a day, super fun due to the people I was with! Highlights was karaoke night & the boat trip we did one afternoon as we had the afternoon off.

Local team were amazing and so accomdating
Food was amazing !! Fried chicken, pasta, amazing curries, pancakes for breakfast and unlimited cereal all day everyday!

Thoughts on local team and accommodation....
The accommodation was way nicer than I ever expected, super comfy beds and nice cold showers!

Volunteering on the island was the most life changing and incredible experience.

From the moment I arrived on the island I felt welcomed and loved by ever person! I was lucky to teach in the kindergarten class, as well as go and visit other classes in the afternoons. Emerging myself in to every aspect of the island life has given me a new outlook on life. All of the people are so kind, fun and loving. The children are incredibly helpful and beautiful inside and out. I will never forget my time on the island and will be forever grateful!! Xx
