Hello, yes I can only keep my opinion small so far because I haven't been to your place yet.. everything went well at the beginning and I also got answers when I wrote.. but since I paid my reservation nobody has contacted me anymore. .I don't think it's great it also gives me a bad feeling.. but I'm still positive and I'm looking forward to my stay in Ecuador.

Necessary information are included and the information are in order to read. It would be perfect if you can give information about the visa you need for your project. I'm really happy with my experience.

Hello Linda,
thanks for your quick response.
Yes, perhaps you could give some extra info about the routines of communication with the on-site staff. Perhaps, we were just unlucky to reach out for a Project Manager, who was not too eager to answer our questions at start(?) And, because of that we interpreted that they were not supposed to 'give away' such details until the deposit had been paid.
I posted some more detailed questions to the Project Manager through your 'messages function' last night, right after we had paid the deposit. I should of course be a bit more patient and see when she responds. However, what should we do, if it turns out the 'response rate' is very slow? We have so many questions, and even though we´ll arrive in June, time is running quickly, and some details are about things we need to fix a long time before arrival (like vaccinations and purchases).
All the best,
Patrik
Well, the website is neat and informative with respect to procedures of payment and overall info about the
projects.
However, the first payment /deposit is quite a neat sum of money, and you would not like to spend it in vain. You definitely need a way for potential customers to get in touch with the coordinators on site, so that the customers may be able to get correct, reliable and detailed info without risking any money. Now, after the deposit, we have really spent quite a lot on a 'black box'. We do not know much at all about the place we are going to. It does not feel comfortable at all,
Best, Patrik

Hi Patrik,
thank you very much for your open feedback.
With our messaging feature, any volunteer can ask any questions in detail to the local project manager. Also during the application process (before paying the deposit) all details can be clarified. For many projects there is even the possibility to arrange a call to ask for additional details and to clarify further questions.
In the future we will make sure that this possibility will be even more accessible to our customers.
Kind regards,
Linda

Hallo Linda, ich bin sehr enttäuscht von volunteerworld. Ich habe über euch das Mental Health Programm in Sri Lanka von pmgy gebucht und dafür euch 110€ als Anzahlung gezahlt. PMgY teilte mir mit, dass die Anzahlung nicht an sie weitergeleitet wurde und ich daher den vollen Preis von 550 € überweisen muss, was ich nun auch getan habe, um am Programm teilnehmen zu können. Damit habe ich nun 110$ mehr bezahlt als wenn ich direkt bei pmgy gebucht hatte. Daher bitte ich euch mir meinen Anzahlungsbetrag zurückzuüberweisen da ihr ja Die Best Preis Garantie versprecht. Leider habe ich auf meine beiden letzten Auftragen im Chat keine Antwort erhalten. Zuvor hattet ihr mir aber dieses per Mail zugesichert. Viele Grüße Clara Maschlanka

Hallo Clara,
deine Rezension können wir leider nicht wirklich nachvollziehen. Dein Deposit wurde natürlich in ganzer Höhe angerechnet. Sowohl Plan My Gap Year als auch wir haben dir jeweils in mindestens einer E-Mail ausführlich aufgezeigt, dass du natürlich nicht mehr Euro gezahlt hast als auf der Website zum Zeitpunkt deiner Zahlung.
Liebe Grüße
