Physical therapy volunteering

Working with kids with disabilities in India was an incredible experience. My host family was great and the food was amazing. The Projects Abroad staff did a great job making me feel at home as well. I had an incredible experience and I definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to experience a different culture, food, and people.

At my placement at Shine School, I was able to work with physical therapists and kids with severe disabilities who needed physical therapy in order to just even walk. It was great to help them everyday, and their parents were so thankful for all of the volunteers. I met so many different people from all over the world- literally. It was awesome to travel with them on the weekends to places in southern India.

The food was incredible. One of my favorite parts was getting fresh street food at stands because it was authentic an they made it right in front of you. I loved getting fresh fruit as well- very different than my home.

The Projects Abroad staff was always willing to help in whatever the volunteers needed. It was great of them because they definitely did a good job of making me feel comfortable and at home. I also felt the same way about my host family. My host mother was an unbelievable cook and always made sure I had enough to eat and clean water. I miss them a lot!

Overall, Projects Abroad was an awesome organization to travel through, no matter where in the world you want to travel to and help!
