Program Reviews

India has been an incredible experience, for me working in a health center and in a hospital was a great way to learn medicine but also about indian culture and people.

Since the first day in India the adventure was amazing, the places I went, the people I met, the food, everything was just incredible.

Now I have a lot of friends I met back in India, that´s why traveling alone is one of the best things I did, incredible people living in the same house with me and sharing beautiful moments, traveling around, and getting know about India.

This was my first time volunteering and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Amazing program with amazing people,taking back home amazing memories. I really do recommend this program, Its really wide, you'll have the chance to visit the tourist part of thailand as the rural life and learn a lot about their culture. I can't wait to live again another volunteer experience with volunteering solutions.

You are in need of a career break? Looking to do something out of the ordinary? Looking to get far away and do something worthwhile?
Of course the solution is volunteering solutions.

There’s never shortage for amazing volunteers, interns, and teach abroad program experiences. Volunteering solutions are awaiting you.

This is my 4th year consecutively working with volsol, they are incredibly helpful with choosing program, choosing location, onsite assistance and with the support that they give throughout the entire journey is just always fantastic.

I volunteered with underprivileged kids at the “parapokar orphanage in Nepal, I can honestly say that I was so lucky to had the chance of meeting those beautiful children, to had the chance to help and support them, they are just beautiful souls.
I also made some friends for life and hopefully one day soon I'll return for a visit! It really was an unforgettable experience.

Whether you’re a student, or you’re taking a gap year, or you’re a professional or a career break traveler, you’re guaranteed to find a volunteer placement, language engagement opportunity with volunteering solutions organization.

All of my expectations for a memorable trip were met and more.

Work as a volunteer in Ghana made me discover a new world
As a PhD. student focuses in education issues. Students taught their different ideas about how economic development will be around the world.
The interaction with volunteers around the world makes the volunteer experience even more interesting.
The culture, country and people are something that I won't forget.

I would highly recommend this program.

This is my first experience in volunteering.I can not explain how it was amazing. i really like philibino culture . Hospitable people and generous they competitive to provide help for every one need it . my volunteering was in two village first village called tabon-tabon 40 km away from tacloban city .I recommended to stay in same village because it is difficult every day go and back to the village. they have small clinic provide medical consultations and medical services for citizens I hope any one want to come bring with him medical aids like oxygen masks ,syringes...etc. Second village called new kawayan i did nutrition program for children .

I did my Volunteering in Nepal. it was a very nice country and people there were amazing.

Here is the Funniest stories of all time in my life.
So one day i wanted to eat noodles and couldnt find heater in the kitchen.. we were staying in a guest house with natives. so i took the noodles and went upstairs and saw this nice clean kitchen. i didnt know it was for the house owners and i thought all of us can use it. So i got in the kitchen and started to prepare a nice meal.. chopped some vegetables.. boiled the noodles and actually spent a good 25min in there. As i was preparing my food.. i saw this old lady looking at me with a very weird angry face.. she didnt say any word but just waited there for me to finish. When i was done with my dishes, she looked at me and just showed me the door.. i was surprised why she was acting this weird with me.. Me happily going downstairs to show the guys what i cooked.. every one was laughing.. it turned out that we cannot use that kitchen and the house old lady gets pissed if someone uses her kitchen.. we laughed alot abt it for hours and then i apologized to the family!

I really enjoyed my time at the girls orphanage in kathmandu Nepal.
The programme involves assisting girls ages from 9-15. This is a learning process indeed, and I stepped out of my comfort zone, as my background has always been working with adults and children, it was an adjustment to rember what its like to be a teenage girl again!!!.

It was a process which I approached with an open and flexible mind, and indeed different to what I was expecting, I really enjoyed my time here as I learned about thr girls, their way of life, nepalese culture and different practices, from what im usually used to.

The programme is suitable for many different people, but as I was a first time volunteer, I really feel I picked the most suitable for what I was hoping to achieve from this trip.

My time in Rabat was short and sweet, and I only wish i could have stayed longer. I took part in this volunteer project to gain some experience before going into my final year at Uni. I thoroughly enjoyed the company of the people I shared the experience with and Ali (the program Co-ordinator could have not been any more helpful or made the experience any more enjoyable), at no point did i feel unsafe or cease to enjoy my experience. What I gained from the volunteer experience itself was invalue, gaining an insight into to the workings of an NGO, however I felt that my limited time of only 2 weeks meant that my involvement and impact on the project was also limited. So that is my main piece of advice for any future travellers, two weeks is an enjoyable amount of time, but if you have the funds and the ability to stay for longer I definitely would! Also, although French or Arabic is not necessary, to know either a little would be a massive help!

However the organisation is great, the volunteer house couldn't have been nicer. I met some great people and got invaluable experience whilst submersing myself in a beautiful country, so I thank volunteering solutions for making it so great!

When my brother and I decided to go to the Philipines as volunteers on the english teaching program I personally did not kow what to expect. All I knew from that country was what the T.V. says every day: insecurity problems, famus boxers, controversial politicians, poverty. So I was ready to immerce myself into less commodities that I'm used to and give the best of me to make my effort worth for all the students we were going to teach. What I encountered at my arrival was something totally different, beautiful ladscapes, a crowded but organized city and most important of all: nice and warm hearthed people.
This is what the T.V. never mentions. Pople in the Philipines will treat you not as tourists but as a brother, they will help you whenever you need it without hesitating; if you are staying with a filipino family, you have hit the jackpot because you will now be a member of the family.
At school the kids were so nice and so lovely, they relly enjoy having foreigners as teachers and they even make sure that one perceives their affection.
I will definitely go back again soon.

This experience allowed me to push myself and my limits further than I could've imagined. Travelling alone was a scary concept to me initially but the support I had from friends and family as well as the organization made it much more comfortable. Working with the kids gave me a new perspective on life as I know it and really taught me to be grateful for all of the wonderful blessings I have in this life. This was a eye opening experience and one I would highly recommend.
