You’ll LOVE Zambia with IVHQ

I traveled solo to Zambia with IVHQ as a post grad trip before starting my career. I traveled seeking purpose and meaning, and wow did I find it. Not only was I valued as a volunteer, but these children needed me, the staff needed me, and I made incredible friends along the way. I stayed for a short 2 weeks, and taught 4-6yr old boys and girls English and basic skills. The children greeted me with such warm hugs every morning and were eager to return to class the next day. The teaching experience was great, I helped occasionally with construction as their project was nearby, and the rest of the afternoon following lunch I was free to do anything in the area that I pleased. I was immersed into Zambia culture and welcomed with open arms. Though I spent most of my time with the children, I made countless friends, saw landmarks I never imagined I’d have the opportunity to see, and truly was able to feel like a local for a short period of time. The staff is so welcoming and delightful. Go volunteer! You’ll be glad you did.
