Do more in one month than most dream of doing in a lifetime.

As a kid, I’ve always wanted to go South Africa and to have that opportunity and to be able to make a difference in the lives of young children, was something I was not about to miss out on. I had the opportunity to not only volunteer for two weeks, but add an additional two weeks in adventure travel too.

Upon arriving, I worked in a school where we kept children occupied by playing games with them, doing arts and crafts, and played sports. After they went home, we helped further by planting a garden, building a preschool at a local settlement, and painting. It was very difficult at times, but well worth the effort. I will never forget the looks on the kids' faces when I left.

All of our accomodations were set up and varied depending on where we were. All of our meals were paid for during the first two weeks and half during the 2nd two weeks.

After two weeks of volunteering, I went on an Adventure Tour where I did such things, but definitely not limited to skydiving in Cape Town, abseiling down Table Mountain, visiting an Elephant Sanctuary, snorkeling with Whale sharks in the Indian Ocean, Quad Biking through a field of palm trees in Mozambique, Horseback Riding in Swaziland, and an infamous 2-Day Safari in Kruger National Park. I guarantee you that this will be one of the best decisions you will ever make and be something that will stick with you for the rest of your life. You will indeed do more in one month, or even two weeks, than most people can dream of doing in their lifetime. ISV opened up the world to me and I can't wait to volunteer with them again.
