Hello Eve, thank you very much for your open feedback. Let us briefly state that Volunteer World - as a marketplace - do not set the prices at all. Each social project determines its own prices. Thus, Volunteer World has no control over the pricing policy of NGOs. Hope that makes sense :)

I think the website is confusing in some areas. For instance there isn't enough guidance in the process. My application said that I'm done but I'm not sure how is going to work after I paid the deposit. I'm going to travel to a country that is completely unknown for me. I wish there was more guidance.

We are constantly working to improve our processes. We understand that even more information is desired after the deposit has been paid. We have noted this and will make appropriate improvements. Thank you :)

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
