Program Reviews

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!!

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.

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!!

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.

The best decision we could make! Recently, together with my sister, we participated in a teaching volunteer in Cusco, Peru. The whole experience was incredible. In the little school where we work, the children allowed us to spend some extraordinary weeks with their funny stories, games, and antics. The local staff was awesome, provided all the needed information, and always was available. The volunteer house was super lovely, cozy, and safe. The people were always very friendly and kind. The food offered is possibly one of the best things, everything was always delicious. On weekends we got to know the city and everything is truly impressive and unreal. The history that Cusco brings together is fascinating and the places even more so. To this add to know a wonder of the world! It is definitely an experience that we want to repeat.

My experience in the Marine Conservation Program was amazing. I loved my time spent getting to know people from all of the world, contributing to preserve the marine ecosystem, and embracing the Portuguese culture. I would like to praise the work done by Ana Matos, the program coordinator of Impactrip. Also, the diving instructors I had, Nuno and Sydney, woke up in me a passion for diving that I hope to continue in the years to come. Without doubts, it has been a experience I will never forget. I highly recommend it!

This is experience was like nothing I have ever done before. The coordinator on site was very helpful and made sure everything ran smoothly. My host family was kind, warm, welcoming and accommodating. The staff at the clinic was also kind, pedagogical, trusting and inquisitive (in the best possible way). I could tell everyone wanted me to have a good experience, not only at the project site but also in Cusco in general. There was more than enough free time to explore the area. Cusco is a beautiful city with a lot of history and has a lot to offer. I also had the opportunity to plan 2 day trips and a 2-day trip, which included a visit to the legendary must-see Machu Picchu! The experience was a great way for me to improve my spanish as I spoke it everyday with almost everyone I encountered.

I volunteered at an orphanage and it was a lot of fun, since all the older kids were in school during the day I only had to watch the ones 2 years and younger. The kids were always so happy and so nice, as well as the staff there. It was like one big family and it was very fun. The only thing was that I would get there around 9:30am and the kids would already ave had breakfast and would eat lunch until 1pm, I was only with the children when they were eating lunch. The other times I was just doing other tasks like laundry, dishes, or preparing food. It was a good experience though

It was a great experience and very fun. We got to do many different things that I normally wouldn't, like cut trees with machetes, planting trees, feeding animals, fixing roads. The people that work at the reserve were very nice and welcoming as well, they were happy to help with anything. The weekends were fun because we were able to go out and do different excursions in other cities, there were things like bungee jumping, skydiving, shark cage diving, and some national parks. Didn't get bored on this trip.

I had a really good time on this trip. Cusco/Machu Picchu is a trip I didn’t think I would ever be able to experience on my own. With the help of this program, everything was nicely laid out for me and made it extremely easy to get out and see the sights that Peru has to offer! The people associated with the program were always available and willing to help if needed. Otherwise, it was great to have free days and explore as I wanted to. I would recommend this trip to anyone looking to come to South America.
