Review

the volunteer experience was misrepresented a the "family experience" was not what was promised (ie 9 volunteers in a home is a hostel experience not a family one).
The food provided was very poor usually stale bread and jam for 2 meals of the day. very basic with little variety or fresh fruit and vegetables for the other meal.
The security of belongings was poor with very little support and recourse when money was stolen from volunteers by house staff.
The support for activities outside of volunteering was poor and expensive (compared with what was available by organising things yourself).
The experience of being a volunteer teacher was more like child minding so that the teachers could have time out. to put a volunteer in charge of a class of 50 children whose english skills are very low with no language support is beyond disorganised.

generally I paid a lot of money with the positive intention of giving something to the country rather than just taking in a touristic fashion. I was very disapointed and would welcome the chance to give my feed back and suggestions to you in another form.

Would you recommend this program?
No, I would not
