The website was well organized very clear about what still needs to be done (payment flight information and insurance etc.). Pre departure contained every information needed sufficient knowledge delivered.

I enjoyed my placement very much because I grew very fond of the kids. Sometime working days were exhausting. The highlight of my volunteering trip was children 's. Day at humayun's tomb as well as traveling through North India.

The accommodation was fine. Meals were adequate. The staff was very friendly and helpful tried to help whenever they could.

I would recommend this organization to anyone. Thank you for the Wi-Fi. Thank you for an invaluable experience.

My overall experience was very rewarding. I did a 3-week medical internship at the Royal Thai
Navy Hospital (Somdet Phra Pinklao Hospital). I spent one week in Obstetrics/Gynecology
department and two weeks in the Cardiology department. I had the opportunity to observe
deliveries (natural and Cesarean) bypass surgery observe angiograms and angioplasty
procedures learn about echocardiograms and more. It was such a great experience as every
single member of the medical team took me under their wing regardless of their English
abilities to mentor me and make sure I had the best learning experience.

Just finishing my first year of medical school this was a great opportunity to not only further discover specific areas of medicine that I'm interested in but also to learn about Thailand's healthcare from an internal perspective. This perspective and my conversations with medics from various areas in the hospital were so valuable to me and really challenged my idea of successful strategies to uphold a strong healthcare system.

Thank you VolSol for the experience:)

My overall experience in Tacloban Philippines was excellent. The homestay family treated me
really well and gave me all the necessary support to get the most out of three weeks trip.
Program coordinators were always available for any doubt/problem I could have. Moreover I
got to know amazing volunteers from all around the world.

Childcare program was a fulfilling experience as I was giving aid to kids under difficult
circumstances. The orphanage was a safe and clean place where you could enjoy your time with
children.

The volunteering experience was so authentic. Living with locals helped me to understand what
traditions they have in their country.

I loved my project and it was definitely worth it! I'm really missing it now and I don't think it could have been better. I think one of the best moments was in my first project where we played pantomime to teach the children the animals in English. Another of my best moments was when my host brother (six years old) came very close to me and whispered in my ear that he really enjoys spending time with me. In my second project there was one little girl (only 9 months) and she is really curious and tries to discover new things all the time and helped her to learn how to crawl and that was really great to see. She also starts to say "hola" during my time there and waved and that are just incredible moments when you see children or babies learn such things.

The overall living experience was excellent. It was very comfortable and homely stay with all the facilities I could have asked for. The in-country staff was very friendly and supportive. They made the program easier and smooth. I would recommend VolSol to anyone I know is willing to volunteer abroad mostly because of the variety of programs. One suggestion is to share more information before one starts the trip.

It was really fun! The team leader was super nice and took us sightseeing after work each day.
The work was good and I didn't struggle at all. Local coordinators were very friendly and supportive.

The work was good. It kept me busy throughout the day and I felt really accomplished after a days work. Sightseeing after work were the highlights of the program.

Being my tenth trip to India I was very much looking forward to the programme. I felt from the
moment we arrived we were looked after very well. The Delhi team were attentive and most
helpful. Dr Bobby and Armit in Palpampur again were attentive and most helpful. In our final
week which was touring we were fortunate to have Parag with us for the week. His knowledge
was brilliant and engagement with the 8 of us was excellent. He read the group extremely well
arranging for Sema to be our guide in Jaipur. Such a lovely lady and her history and knowledge
of Jaipur was fabulous.

Loved both projects different in their own way. The experience was incredibly humbling and I
am grateful to have been part of the experience. So important for us to see first hand just where
the money is going.

Highlights - probably too many to mention. Everyday was different and with it a more
interesting experience. The overnight bus and the train journey whilst long I'm so very pleased
to have done them.

It was fantastic. Uma has everything well planned so you can be productive for the very first moment you arrive. I have been working with her and with the community school Neel Bahari. Their treat with me was excellent and they made me feel comfortable in every single moment. Highly recommended for the rest of the volunteers.

Uma Matema (coordinator) was helpful from the moment I arrived in Kathmandu. She was supportive during the two weeks even in matters non-related directly with the volunteering work. I am very grateful to her because I was worried before going there to be productive but she made it happen easily.
It was a touching experience sharing the time with the children and trying to help as much as possible.

It was a lovely program in a beautiful mountainous peaceful and friendly area which made the
experience all the nicer! Program coordinators were helpful and the program was interesting
and educational.

I enjoyed working there and got many opportunities to learn more and experience a new way
doing things.

The highlights of my projects were location and scenery food medical experience the time to just relax.

I recently returned from a 2-weeks placement in Beijing at an orphanage for children with special needs and it's been one of the most humbling gratifying and surreal experiences in my life. I worked with about 20 kids from infants to young adults and had full days of teaching English changing diapers coddling babies cleaning the orphanage helping with laundry bathing the babies you name it!
The children and the caregivers welcomed me and the other volunteer with open arms and it really felt like I was part of their family. They were definitely full hard days but ultimately absolutely life-changing work! I still keep in touch with the caregivers and orphanage director and they send me updates and pictures of all the kids. I'm already making plans to return to the orphanage to help out more next year! Thank you VolSol for all your support! I recommend doing volunteer work at some point in your life it really does teach you so much!

Our group had a positive experience overall. The trip went well. The accommodations experiences and on ground support were all as expected. Our group of 15 students felt the experience was a strong one for their growth and learning.

The local staff and coordinators Very Friendly and Supportive. Would rate the trip 4 on a scale of 5.

I have just returned from my trip to Tamale Ghana. I stayed there for 10 weeks taking part as a nurse in the medical healthcare program and also collaborating in the school.

It has been an amazing experience Ghanaian people are very nice and friendly they love to be with foreigners and to show their culture. Both people from the hospital and the school were very kind and grateful and it was very easy to establish relationships with them. In fact I still keep in touch with most of them.

I am very grateful about the treatment of the host family they were very nice and they took care of me at every moment.

It has been the best experience and adventure I have ever had and I have learned a lot.
I highly recommend everyone to volunteer some time in their life. I have been able to prove that you are happier when you forget yourself and help and think about others.

It was really nice. I got to try many things that I would not have a chance to do in HK my home
town. We also witnessed the magical moments of baby turtles returning to the sea female
turtles laying eggs etc.


Everything was well taken care of by our friendly and brother-like local coordinator Amal. He
was very caring and help us with everything. He encouraged us to try out different jobs even
the ones out of our expectations such as construction and leading tours.

I love animals and I think this is the best chance I could have to get closer with them and contribute. The hatchery is doing a great job so I believe you should continue working with them.

My experience was amazing! The tour included so much and the volunteering experience was
fantastic. All the staff/volunteers/tour guides were absolutely amazing. They were kind
informative and so welcoming and friendly.

I loved the accommodation. It being a volunteer program I expected less so I was very surprised
and impressed with the quality of accommodation.

The highlight was definitely working with the elephants and I think that the quality of
atmosphere with the other volunteers and tour guides help so the fact everyone was so fantastic
it really creative a great vibe. I also really enjoyed the adventure activities! There was such a
variety on the trip so every adventure brought something new!

My volunteering experience in Sri Lanka was sooo rewarding. I got the chance to learn about turtles to meet people to experience the local culture to enjoy the nature and to see myself having the ability to contribute to the place I like.

Amal has been really good to us. The communication was smooth and we need not to worry
about language barriers. He was flexible to cater our needs for example if we would like to visit
any places he would just arrange to drive us to. We also had a good relationship not in terms of
just "boss and volunteers" but as friends to learn about each others' cultures including
languages religions and everything. We are still keeping in touch now even after the project.

The overall living experience was excellent. It was very comfortable and homely stay with all
the facilities that I could have asked for.

The staff at the accommodation was very friendly and served us well. I love how they gave us
flowers every morning! The food was also nice. They served us with the amount that we could
hardly finish every meal.

I definitely enjoyed working at the conservation centre. Not only Amal our coordinator all the
other people working there has been treating us well. As we got ourselves familiar with the
centre's work they were willing to let us get involved in more and more fun jobs. For example
carrying a turtle with care picking seaweed on the seashore and even doing construction work
to repair a tank! These might be once-in-a-lifetime experience for us and we were thankful that
they truly treated us as part of the team.

Interacting with people was the best part. I didn't feel like just working working and working
but at the same time meeting new friends from Sri Lanka. Some chatted with us a lot some
don't really know English but we still interacted using smiles and body languages (and a bit of
Sinhalese we learnt). They even organised a birthday party for me! I enjoyed learning about Sri Lanka exchanging thoughts and having fun with all these people.

Recommendations to future participants going on the same project: It is a great opportunity for animal-lovers or nature-lovers. It could be emotional seeing female turtles laying eggs and baby turtles beginning their life. Besides you would have the chance to get in touch with other animals in Sri Lanka like elephants and monkeys during your free time so go for it! It is important to open
up yourself as to gain more. The people there would be happy to see you love the work or the
overall environment. If you are willing to they are also willing to have a lot of fun with you.

I did the 2-week Special in Surin Thailand and was not disappointed at all. One week Childcare one week at the Elephant village. I thoroughly enjoyed spending time with the kids in childcare and it was incredibly gratifying to know that they were just so happy to be around us. Mr. Lee's Elephant village was a blast so rewarding knowing the exhaustion is truly worth it. Also the elephants..so fun so memorable. The coordinators were all great as well.
Highlights of the program: 1. Laughing with the kids at childcare 2. Meeting so many awesome new friends 3. Being able to learn about and spend time with some beautiful elephants.

I volunteered at the Day Care Center in Cusco Peru for 2 weeks and it was an amazing experience. The program was very well organized the staff was very good and they made me feel very safe. I had a lot of fun being a part of this program.

It was great working with the kids. I also opted for a hiking in the Rainbow Mountains. I would recommend this program to all because it is very well organized and the program is not very expensive.

The Pre-Departure information booklet was perfect containing all information and more required. Sahil and Ali were attentive and responded to emails concerns and inquiries almost instantly.


It was the best experience ever. I loved the school loved the home I stayed in and loved Morocco! The kids and teachers were eager and enthusiastic. They appreciated my efforts and were very thankful.

The Moroccan host family were welcoming and I felt at home. I enjoyed the authentic cuisine and it was very tasty. Ali was our in Morocco coordinator who was always available welcoming genuine supportive and friendly.

The highlight for me was reading the book 'Elmer' to the kids. It gave me this deeply uplifting warm feeling when the kids were so excited about 'Where's Elmer?' They absolutely loved it. Other than that meeting so many amazing people in Morocco and seeing so many sights was my definite highlight and immersing into the culture of Morocco.
