You have two hands, one is for yourself and the other is to help others, the greatest gift you can give anyone is your time!

GVI is definitely the best thing I have ever done. It has improved my self-esteem as well as my confidence massively. The programme was very eye opening and a good way to compare what we have in England and how little they have in Cape Town and to be grateful of our luxuries. It has given me confidence to work with children of all capabilities and backgrounds. The children were so grateful for everything and especially for your time. You also gain a lot of free time especially at the weekends so you are free to explore the country. I did ticked off so many things off my bucket list including shark cage diving, boulders beach, table mountain the list is endless.

The support from GVI has been amazing and if anybody wants to volunteer abroad I would definitely recommend the company as they help you every step of the way from booking to arriving in Cape Town to coming home, they have it covered. I have just booked my second adventure with GVI but this time it is a 6 month internship in Costa Rica!
