Unforgettable volunteer experience

Hi I would like to share this unforgettable volunteer experience with IVHQ. Although only for two weeks in Sri Lanka cannot make a great change to local people, but it has already impacted me a lot.

The local team there were very supportive and they answered my queries as soon as I asked them. At first I felt quite nervous and actually I am not very outgoing, so it was a hard time at first. However, I was settled after the orientation day, which allow me to communicate with other volunteers, which was really a new step for me. I got to know different cultures during my program, and improved my fluency in speaking English. The local people are generally very nice and welcoming, and the lady who provided us food gave each one an egg per day to keep us healthy.

As my first time volunteer and teaching English, I felt a little difficult to start at first, but I gradually improved my plan and managed many great lessons, which exercised my presentational and interactive skills. I really felt I was needed whenever I saw their sweet smile and shining eyes. Overall, it was a great experience, and during the meeting I was given the opportunity to speak to the public which I basically had never done before, which was a great challenge but promoted me a lot. Finally, I appreciate for this amazing volunteer experience with IVHQ.
