Would you recommend this program and our organization to others? yes/no

It was an great and amazing experience. I would do it again in a heartbeat. I learned a lot. And
sometimes it was very difficult because people in Kenya have other ideas but that's a great
way to learn and grow.
The overall living experience was excellent. It was very comfortable and homely stay with all
the facilities that I could have asked for. In my opinion accommodation was too luxurious. Because I expected it to be a little more like living how the poorly people do. But it was great that we had everything we needed.
At first it was very hard for me because of the difference in culture and the way that
people treat children but I understand why they do it the way they do. I was prepared but still
it was a shock. After a few days it become easier and I loved going to the orphanage.
The highlight of my trip wat to know the real people of Kenya. The are so super friendly and helpful. But olso the Safari was amazing.

My experience in Chiang Mai was nothing less than amazing. Every possible expectation I had was completely exceeded and left me with a full heart and tears that I had to leave the place and go home. The experiences I have had in the last two weeks are some of the best I’ve had in my whole lifetime.

Not only did I get to shadow doctors in a hospital I got to engage in the Thai culture meet lifelong friends from around the world and helped myself to be a better person. Although this all sounds so cheesy and cliché I am so grateful for everything I have done there with this program

My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed the program. We had the opportunity to work with street
children and also do sight seeing. It was very rewarding teaching and playing with the children
whom don't have much but have the biggest hearts. Volunteer Solutions took care of us and
answered all our inquiries. They organised tours and made sure we had an enjoyable time.

I enjoyed spending time with the children. They were very lovely and gave you all their attention. It was nice teaching them English Maths and General Knowledge and even though they didn't know English that well they listened and learned.

Spending time with the children teaching them something new and playing games with them were the highlihgts of my trip. Simply just interacting with them and creating memories with them. I enjoyed learning Hindi with them and teaching them clapping games.

I also really enjoyed going to landmarks such as the Taj Mahal and The Lake City Udaipur as I learnt about the history and appreciated the architecture. I really admire the Indian culture and hope more people take the opportunity to experience it as well.

I absolutely believe this trip was an eye-opener. I learnt a lot in Kanti hospital and the doctors
were very friendly and answered all my questions. Nepal is a beautiful place where you can see breath-taking things and gain lots of experience and the people there are amazingly friendly and helpful.

The coordinators were really friendly and helpful. They were always in contact throughout the whole stay. The overall living experience was excellent. It was very comfortable and homely stay with all the facilities that I could have asked for.

The experience was very worthwhile . The doctors were helpful and answered all questions. Mr. Bishop is a great passionate guy who has a strong love for childcare and an endless desire for improving the hospital.

To give a summary the last five weeks have been the most amazing five weeks of my life.
When arriving to the center you are warmly welcomed and shown around. It is a lot to take in because the center is pretty big and there are a lot of animals.

Working hours are from 8 till 12 and half past 2 till 5 which is a good amount. Everyday the animals need to be feed and there cages to be cleaned and when that is done we work on extra work which is really diverse.

I have loved every day of my stay here and that is partly because of the animals and of the amazing people of yana cocha.

It was really pleasant to be able to get close to elephants and understand their behaviour and
needs. Rosiee was a nice host very helpful. I appreciate the fact that it was possible to travel on the weekends.

Amal and Rosiee are helpful and have answered to all my questions and needs. The overall living experience was excellent. It was very comfortable and homely stay with all the facilities that I could have asked for.

The work was interesting but maybe we hadn't do as much things as I imagined. Depending on
the weather (too hot or rainy) it was not possible to work so the volunteering days were short.

Bathing the elephants in the river and give them vitamins directly in the mouth were the highlights of my project.

It was really a rich experience I learned many things I got new friends I helped people. Team co-ordinators were good and very helpful and friendly.

I am really interested in the project I love the kids I learned how to deal with them even I don’t
speak nepali. It was good. I got new frinds from overseas. I learnd some nepalis words I adapted myself to live without luxury lifestyle.

Thank you for the great experience that you gave me in nepal I hope that We will do it again in
other parts of the world.

My experience was very nice not only by helping the girls and in the orphanage (where they need a lot of help) but also to getting to now all the culture and this amazing friendly and happy people in Ghana.

I thought it was only helping the girls in the school but I really felt useful in the school and in the orphanage and also I was able to help them giving them some matirials an cloth they really need.

Country Partner Organization/ Local Contact during your trip was very Friendly and Supportive. The house was clean and spacious and in a good neighborhood. The food was alright.

I will definitely recommend it to others.

It was an amazing experience to work with the children and the teachers are So greatfull that you are there to help them! ?My hostelmanager Katie was amazing and she was always there when you needed her. She really feels like a friend instead of your hostelmanager because she is so friendly.

The accomodation was clean and the food was good. It was a great experience to live together with all the other volunteers. My highlight was working with these little children but also doing things with other volunteers in our spare time made this trip unforgettable.

Volunteering is a very rewarding option at any time in our lives. Undoubtedly a great experience of life personal and professional growth and enrichment. Far away he would experience such an experience again.

My experience in the project was very gratifying since the staff of the hospital in New Delhi was very welcoming to me it was worth it completely very necessary to have a global vision of a country that does not have midwives as professionals for the integral care of the women couples or relatives throughout their life cycle however I would have loved to know the reality of public hospitals since I was in private hospital of Moolchand.

Cultural religious interpersonal and professional exchange Personal growth Create opportunity to practice and develop social skills.

Absolutely amazing from the moment I landed was well taken care of by the local coordinator and really enjoyed the balance of volunteering/ sightseeing I felt like I accomplished and witnessed so much of Rabat already in the short week I went and am hoping to be able to go back for longer in 2018 to experience more of what Morocco has to offer in addition to helping out with Women's Rights NGO Joussour.

The sightseeing - Kasbah de Ouidayas Hassan II Tower and Old King's Mausoleum Aghdal downtown Rabat and the Medina were the highlights of my trip.

Definitely enjoyed and definitely worthwhile planning to do it again in 2018.

The trip was really awesome. It was my first time to go outside Europe and this project was the ideal thing to do for the first time! It is a good combination between different volunteering projects travelling and being with international people. The week in Mr. Lee's elephant village and the day in the Khao Yai national park were the absolute highlights for me. Beside that we had a great tour guide in Kwang. She took care of us really well arranged everything for us and did literally anything to help us. Big shout out to Kwang! I had an amazing time in Thailand.

Kwang is the best! She really took care of everything. When something went wrong with the beach extension we had one day less at Koh Phangan she kept us informed as good as she could.

I enjoyed all the projects actually. The childcare and elephants were the most exciting for me. Luckily we could stay another day in the elephant village because me and two others decided not to go to Cambodia. It was a pity that the childcare was only two days those kids were amazing.

My experience in Tamale Ghana was extraordinary. I would have never expected such a great time. People were very nice and welcoming and always helped me when there was something I needed. I also liked my work at the football program very much. I shared the passion of this sport with all of my players so we easily made a connection and it was always fun to coach them. All in all I am very happy that I was part of this family for three month and I am looking forward to come back one day.

Frederick Addai is a very supportive and interested coordinator. Even if he has much work to do he always cares for his volunteers. He also tries to bring the Ghanaian Culture to the volunteers which was very appreciated. He is always laughing joking and makes it very easy to feel comfortable. His family is also a huge help for the volunteers especially his wife Rose who cooks every night same as Francis who shows you around and Stanley who is an interesting discussion partner.

The work on my project was much fun. The people in Tamale appreciated my work very much from the coordinator and his family to the other coaches and the players. I was given much free space for my training structure so that decisions were mainly with me. The other coaches were willing to learn how football is tought in Germany. This open-minded behaviour wasn't expected by me but it created a very positive working atmosphere. I felt very happy to be part of the project and I always felt to be able to give some impact on the boys development.

Everyone was nice and welcoming. The smile and curiosity of everyone made my stay an extraordinary experience.

I liked the whole website. I find the Pre-Departure Information booklet very good. I find the service very good. The staff answered all my questions very fast and politely.

I enjoyed the working at my Project. The Project was amazing! I enjoyed the work with the children and the surf lessons. I feel my experience was worthwhile! and Yes my efforts were appreciated at the project! The staff told us frequently that our work is amazing.

The accommodation was good. The meals were very very good! A compliment to the chef Joseph

The service and support of the In country coordinator and support staff were good. The highlight of my volunteering experience and my trip was surfing and skydiving and the work with the children too.
