Program Reviews

This was my first time volunteering abroad! I was super nervous, but everything ended up being amazing. My host family and school were above and beyond, I arrived extremely sick and they took care of me for 3 days. It didn’t even feel like I was volunteering, it felt more like a vacation. We visited many museums, theatres etc! The kids I got already knew a ton of English, so I was mostly helping with grammar. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for an incredible experience! It was 100x better than what I expected in my head, and the friendship and connection I made are with people I keep in contact with regularly. This was definitely my favourite volunteer experience and I cannot recommend it enough. Do not give this a second thought and just go for it and have the most amazing experience of your life!

The best part was the hosting family engagement; we were engaged in the Ukrainian community and challenges. It was not a sightseeing trip; it was a life engagement human experience.

It was a full time work, we had to prepare the classes daily but it worth every moments. the children were so intelligent and cooperative. The school and hosting family made a great effort, by the end of the program i had a true beloved family in Ukraine.

I believe that the Ukrainian and Egyptian have lots of similarities. And i encourage Egyptian specially to participate in this program as it suits our culture and life style. The Ukrainian families respect a lot any differences which i found minors.

I went to the program with a lot of emotional discomfort due to work stresses and fear of expectation and just spending the day with the children healed it all. i am still connected after a year with the teachers , families and student and i thank God every day for this life changing opportunity.

It was my first time volunteering abroad, and I am so happy that I chose to do it with GoCamp. TheGoCamp team was so friendly, always available to answer questions and lend a helping hand. The training session they organized at the beginning of the trip was the most fun I can ever remember having, it was a brilliant way to get to know the other volunteers, make a few good friends, discover the different cultures, learn new skills and play games. The kids were all very nice and very eager to listen and communicate, as were their school teachers. It's a wonderful opportunity to visit a beautiful country and meet some great people, and a lot of the volunteers stay an extra week to visit a few of the big cities and mahor landmarks. It's an amazing experience which I hope to relive some day soon and which I fully recommend!

I volunteered in this program. I think the program is managed and planned very professionally, and with attention to detail.
The registration fee is much lower than in many volunteer programs, that's why I also recommend this. It does not matter if you have travelled in Europe or Eastern Europe before, or if you speak the local languages or not.
Recommended if you want to get experience and build your CV, or if you want to travel while doing something impactful, making children happy and learning about other cultures.

Phone service was not a problem, and there is mobile wifi in many places. The country is very beautiful in summer. I can recommend volunteering also in other places than near major cities, since there is nature and historical buildings in many places.
