Review

I strongly recommend volunteering with IVHQ. It is ethical, an affordable price, and the local support team checked in with me throughout my time volunteering. The guidance given by IVHQ was helpful and all of my questions were thoroughly answered. Orientation day was great and they organized a range of activities, which helps to create connections between the volunteers. They also found me a female guide and arranged for my friend and me to do an overnight trek while volunteering. My words of advice are, go into the experience with the right frame of mind, and you will likely find there is little to complain about. My friend and I loved volunteering and the homestay. We are both 16-year-old girls who worked in a Pokhara child care center in Nepal. This was the first time we traveled on our own and it didn’t feel stressful at all. The teachers were so kind and welcoming and I felt like I made connections with many kids. It made an impact on my life and hopefully, I made a small impact on others’ lives through the connections that were made. This is a great way to immerse yourself in a different culture and learn about the world.
