Disability program support

I reached out to IVHQ as I wanted to volunteer in a setting where I could use my professional skill set. With IVHQ I was able to do so and they have been extremely accomodating.
The host family who I lived with were great and the program team at the centre in which I worked were eager to learn and develop their skills, as well as give me the opportunity to learn from them.
Overall, it was a very positive experience and I would gladly volunteer through IVHQ again in the future. The staff provided a great pre departure guide on Nepal, as well as having group induction dates meaning you can meet other volunteers and have some other people to stay connected with despite being on different programs and living with different families. I always felt very well connected in Nepal and this helps with the feeling of safety and eases the culture shock allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the local culture.
