Turtle Conversation in Galle Sri Lanka

Had a great time taking part in the Sea Turtle Conservation Project in Galle, Sri Lanka. The project was a great way to raise awareness about the life of sea turtles. The local staff was extremely helpful and very patient, the volunteers were enthusiastic, Summer Garden Guesthouse, where I stayed, was super and very well located. Needless to say, the overall experience is something that I would definitely recommend for students, fresh graduates and young professionals. I hope to go back there soon!

Provide Dental Health Care to Locals

I worked in the program "Procide Health Care to Locals" in Arusha for one week. The mornings I spent at Mt. Meru Hospital and helped the dentists with their work. In the afternoon we had some leisure time to do and see other things. One day for example we could go to an orphanage amd teach the children about brushing teeth. I really had the best time during my stay in Tanzania. The people were all really friendly and supportive, both from the organisation and the locals. I would recommend volunteering in Arusha to everybody who is looking for a great adventure!

Cusco fue maravilloso

GRACIAS por tan memorable experiencia. Las escuela, los niños, la casa en la que me hospedé, la comida, la coordinadora Kelly, todo fue excelente. Toda la experiencia fluyó en perfecto orden. Una semana memorable y gratificante.

Tener la oportunidad de compartir genuinamente con Perú, desde su verdad, con su gente y en sus comunidades, te permite entender mejor. Sentir la energía y apreciar los lujos de una ciudad que quedó perpetuada en el tiempo.

El crecimiento emocional, espiritual y personal que otorga la experiencia, no tiene precio.

Altamente recomendado, el programa es una forma accesible de viajar, llenando el alma.

Gracias otra vez,
Brenda Ortiz

Pros
  • Te sientes guiado y cuidado
  • Es costoefectivo
  • Experiencias genuina y auténtica en el pais

Best time of my life in Sri Lanka!!

I had the most amazing experience in Sri Lanka! Thanks to Tatiane and the team for wonderful support and trip. Highly recommend Volunteering Solutions!

The airport pickup was a bit delayed due to local conditions, but I was in constant contact with the coordinator and Tati on WhatsApp. The house was amazing and I loved staying there with 23 other volunteers from around the world. This was really nice, as we were able to meet in the evenings and go around on the weekends. People were there from Spain, Portugal, UK, Germany and US! The turtle project was nice and I also worked on the dog project for a week, which was nice.

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
It would be nice to be in touch with others on the trip before going. But I have no complaints and I loved my time!

Wonderful time teaching kids in Kathmandu!

I just finished the most incredible trip in Nepal. The house and the host were lovely and I had a good time at the project while teaching at the Gyanuday school in Kathmandu. The children and the local staff made me feel welcome and I also really enjoyed the weekend trip to Pokhara. Uma was amazing and I can't stop recommending her to my friends!

Tati and Sahil were really helpful throughout the planning process and helped in from the time of booking to the time I was going to board my flight. They were always available on WhatsApp which made me feel comfortable about the trip.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
Surrounded by monkeys while visiting the Swayambhunath temple in Kathmandu!! But my guide was very helpful and I managed the Trip :)

I loved Sri Lanka!

I had an excellent time in Sri Lanka. The turtle project was amazing and the staff made us feel welcome. The house is great and the location is excellent. I am already looking to do more programs later in summer! The booking process was simple and fast, I had good support from Sahil and the team at office. The zoom calls before my travels made me very comfortable about the trip and also my parents were relieved. I did a lot of research and I am glad I found the right company to travel with. Already excited about the future trips!

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
I think the program was perfect as it is. Maybe if we could meet other before traveling it would be nice.

Incredible experience in Nepal with Volunteering Solutions

After much research online I decided to go with Volunteering Solutions to Nepal in Jan 2022. I loved the experience and the support before and throughout the program was amazing. Working at the childcare placement in the afternoon and teaching in the morning was great. Uma and Rashmila were so nice and really made sure I was comfortable!! The accommodation was clean and comfortable. The food was delicious and Uma made sure I never went hungry. I loved spending time with the kids at the center.

Thanks again, highly recommended!!

What was the most unfamiliar thing you ate?
I ate goat lungs!! A delicacy in Kathmandu newari people.

My time in Sri Lanka

My three months in Sri Lanka have been really great. The staff in the house was very nice and always willing to help if there was a problem. I also really liked my project and enjoyed the work and time with the sea turtles.The trips that I took part in were always very organized and full of new experiences. Since Sri Lanka has a lot to offer regarding it’s nature, cities and scenery I was always able to discover new and different parts of the country. I have met a lot of amazing people there and enjoyed my stay very much.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
Our trip to the rainforest. It was raining heavily and the floor was covered in leaches. But all in all it was a great experience. We even were able to bathe in a waterfall.

Voluntariado en Cusco, Perú

Mi voluntariado en Peru fue precioso. Estuve en una guardería por dos semanas y los niños eran muy especiales y dulces. Ayudamos a los niños con sus tareas y estudios. La familia con la Que estuve esas dos semanas fue increíble, todos muy atentos y la comida deliciosa. La estadía no pudo haber sido mejor. Además del voluntariado hicimos varios tours y la experiencia fue inolvidable, permite que el voluntariado sea muy dinámico. En general, una aventura y voluntariado increíble, lo haría todo de nuevo!!

Una bella experiencia

La experiencia de un voluntariado en Cuzco fue hermosa en todos los aspectos, el lugar, las personas, los niños del jardín, la experiencia, la comida, los bellos destinos turísticos, todo en esta experiencia fue hermoso, no hay duda de que la repetiría.
La casa donde nos recibió doña Edith y sus hijas, nos brindaron un trato excelente y realmente nos hicieron sentir como en casa. Siempre fueron atentas a todas nuestras necesidades. Muy feliz y agradecido por haber vivido esta experiencia, gracias.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Disfruten al máximo la experiencia, es increíble!!
