Program Reviews

My highlight of volunteering on the kindergarten program in Vietnam was seeing the kids smile. Playing games with them, singing and dancing with them. Really brings out our inner child and our silliness. The kids are bright and excited to learn.

On the lcoal team and accommodation. Local team was amazing & accomodating. Organising family nights on Monday with games , dinner & karaoke to helping you with anything and everything. Accomodation offered breakfast, lunch & dinner with local food and offers tours.

Korea is an amazing country. At the volunteering place, people were very nice but generally did not speak English. Fortunately I always had a bilingual person to accompany me.

I was able to go out of Seoul and visit Suwon, Hamyang and Japan.

I really liked this trip!

The local team is kind and helpful. They are always available if you have a question.

I was able to try many Korean food thanks to the local team. I loved the food.

The accommodation is very quiet which is nice. You can have a Korean breakfast or just cereal. The accommodation is near a bus and subway station which I really convenient.

Hi my name is Kai. I spent 3 weeks in Nepal. Through culture week I got a real taste for the city of Katmandu - chaotic streets, crammed buses, lots of very friendly people and interesting foods. My favourite place was Pokhara - a smaller city built in the Nepalese jungle with snow covered mountains in the background. This place had a special vibe and the hikes were very fun. Lots of back packets stayed here so it was good for meeting people like myself. The last place I visited was Chitwan where I went on a safari and got to see wild rhinos. No tigers unfortunately but maybe next time. Over all the food was nice, people are friendly, there's a lot of temples and cool places to visit and if you really want the full experience you can head to the Himalayas for full week treks through beautiful snowy villages and views like you've never seen.

Volunteering in Fiji was truly a life-changing experience. It was so fulfilling to interact and connect with the youth in the villages and schools. I enjoyed teaching the children how to wash their hands and brush their teeth in the schools. The kids were so eager to learn and they couldn't stop smiling and hugging myself and the other volunteers. It was touching to see how happy the people of Fiji are, even though they do not have a lot of money, the community is super tight and connected.

The local team was extremely welcoming and friendly. It was very easy to contact them if you needed anything. Transportation always arrived on time. The food was delicious and included some traditional Fijian cuisine. The accommodation was close to nearby hotels, restaurants, shopping and beaches!

For part of my trip I was able to enter the sports program since the hours didn't conflict with health education. It would have been nice to do both for the entire trip. So maybe during registration, it could offer to add programs at your specific site.

In Indonesia for the Turtle Conservation Project.... Volunteering was the best experience of my life ! The turtles are so cute and it was very fulfilling to take care of them.

I met loads of amazing people, visited places that looked absolutely out of this world, and gained lots of independence. I feel as though this experience has changed me as a person, I’ve learnt a lot.

The coordinators are amazing: they’re easygoing, funny, dedicated and always there to make you smile.

The food and the accommodation was excellent.

My Fiji volunteering trip was the most incredible experience of my life. It sounds overdramatic to describe it like this but the combination of the people and the program was amazing. I met beautiful people and shared the best experiences - we've already planned trips to see each other after the program!

About the team and volunteer house...The local team in Fiiji were beautiful people. They made sure we were comfortable and well fed. The accommodation was kept clean and tidy. A plumbing issue was dealt with quickly.

I can’t express enough how much Meki, Tima and Paulina took care of me. They would even fan me when I was eating and if I was lying on the front deck (anywhere I was actually if they thought it was needed😆) I’ve never been fanned before😆

Sitting up the head of the table being fanned and continually fed was definitely a new experience! I felt like Queen Joey😆
They also prepared me the most beautiful bedroom.

I have arranged to visit Meki and his beautiful family again in October. Also a lovely lady Karalaini from the one of the hotels I stayed in has asked me to her parents village while I’m there. I’m very excited to be seeing everyone! I’ll also get to see the ladies at the women’s commune as Karalaini’s Grandma lives there.

This is Karalaini I met at a hotel I stayed in. She is the lady taking me to her village. There’s always a positive if I hadn’t stayed in hotels at times I wouldn’t of met her:) I truly had the best time thank you.

I just absolutely love volunteering☀️ Thank you also for always getting back to me Lauren explaining everything to me and helping me every step of the way,

I made it through games and exercises. The children were very friendly and respectful. They immediately considered me as their teacher. They knew very little English but all I had to do was smile and use gestures. For any help I could asked to the teacher who knew English.
One week the school was closed for a celebration so I cleaned a beach and I started a new activity to renovate a school.
I also participated at a celebration and it was very interesting!
It was a really good experience that I suggest for everyone!

Review of the Nutrition & Health Education, Ubud. It was a very beautiful experience, short but intense! I had the opportunity to get involved first hand, I prepare lessons for the children and explain the topics to them in a simple and playful way. At the end of the week they were very happy and happy that they had learned new things! It was very stimulating and I was sorry I only did it for a week.

The facility I stayed in was quite comfortable and welcoming, the food was good and the local staff was quite present.
