It was an AMAZING experience! Nepal was full of beautiful scenery kind people and awesome kids. I will never forget my time there and I'm honored to have met so many kind hearted people while I was in Nepal.

Uma-ji was incredibly hospitable and tried very hard to cater to our needs. Her and all of her staff were wonderful and I'm very grateful to them. The noodles and momo she made us were delicious !! She also planned a wonderful and perfect trip for me to Pokhara.

My experience in Nepal was great and far exceeded my expectations. Working with the children at the orphanages was great and I'm so happy I got the chance to meet such up-beat rowdy and giggly children. The older girls at Paropakar were the sweetest teenage girls I had ever met. They were kind as curious and hard working and they will always have a place in my heart. The overall experience was immensely worthwhile and I look forward to doing it again someday.

The highlights of my Nepal trip were meeting the kids spending time with the girls at parobakar and getting to know them. Visiting beautiful pokhara.

I had a great time in Nepal. I had a great experience with the children at the orphanage they are lovely and always want attention. Nepal is a wonderful country there are lots of places to visit and each one of them fascinating. I was able to get to know the people and culture of Nepal.

The house was clean and spacious and in a good neighborhood. The food was alright.

I really enjoyed working at the orphanage with the kids. I love kids and babies and I got to to take care of both with was great. I feel it was a great experience and I'm glad I could help in a way the kids in need who unfortunately don't have a family.

Excellent experience overall! Was able to learn much about the culture and way of life through volunteering at the preschool in Delhi and a tour of the city's historical highlights. Country co-ordinators were extremely welcoming and friendly and went out of their way to make me feel at home.

Team co-ordinators were superb and always went the extra mile to make us feel at home cooking local food and showing us around Delhi.

The project was excellent and a very worthwhile experience. Working with the children although tiring as they were always full of energy was extremely rewarding.

Working with a bunch of very lively children who were eager to learn and always full of energy was the main highlight! Also the Golden Triangle Weekend Trip was excellent- was able to gain a taste of Indian history and culture and delicious food!

My experience was absolutely rewarding! My host family was so humble and treated me and the other volunteer with kindness and as if we were apart of the family. Seeing turtles was a very moving experience - Pablo and Haniel knew exactly what they were doing and shown great knowledge in what they do.

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

The highlight of my was seeing the turtle! The Local Contact during my trip was Very Friendly and Supportive.

Everything was arranged perfectly and went smoothly. I definitely want to return one day.

My experience of Dehli and of volunteering on the Street children project was wonderful. The extreme heat and humidity in Dehli was challenging and also made the conditions for working with the children a challenge also but getting to know the children ( and meeting children I had worked with in a previous volunteer trip to Dehli) on the project in the short time I was there and learning from them about their culture their hopes and their dreams made it all worthwhile.

I cannot praise enough the support advice and hospitality shown by Shankar and Ramesh in particular in the Volunteer house in Dehli. Both went beyond the call of duty to welcome and support volunteers and to make everyone feel secure. This was my third time staying at the volunteer house over the past five years and I must say both are great hosts.

Shankar in particular seemed to be able to anticipate the needs of all the volunteers and no matter what time of day addressed and supported volunteers in adapting to the new environment. He also with great patience addressed the practicalities of adapting to a new environment that all volunteers must make such as sorting SIM cards transport and safety issues.

The accommodation was very homily and secure. It was also very well maintained by the hard work of Ramesh. Ramesh also did most of the cooking and food preparation and in doing so he made sure that the volunteers experienced regular mealtimes were they could exchange stories about their daily experience of volunteering. He also kept the house and bedclothes etc. fresh and clean which was much appreciated by all the volunteers. The only criticism that I make of the accommodation was the lack of consistent wifi. For young volunteers first time away from home in particular this was a serious issue as most wanted to keep contact with their parent(s). Over the two week period is was at times impossible to successfully make a wifi connection.

The experience of the project was hard work challenging but great. The rooms which the project take place have no air conditioning so physically being there for a number of hours each day in the extreme heat and humidity is at times Gruelling. However once you become absorbed working with the kids which is great then the conditions become tolerable.

The highlight of my trip was meeting both the kids and other volunteers from different countries. I think the organisation should highlight more how volunteers of different nationalities learn so much from one another through living and working together on a project. This is my third time volunteering with volunteer solutions and I have made many long term friends from meeting others in the volunteer house.

I have an interest in working long term in volunteer projects. I have volunteered in many countries throughout the world and in my own country so I have accumulated a wealth of experience of the needs of both host projects and volunteers.

My overall experience was amazing I do not have anything to complain about at all. Everything was better than I expected from my accommodation to my placement my coordinator everything was great.

My local coordinator Jenny Torres was amazing. She answered all of my questions even before my trip and was always very supportive. She always cared a lot about my safety and well-being and would constantly ask me how I was doing checking up on me making sure everything was
fine.

My accommodation was excellent. The family was very nice the beds and everything was clean and the meals were delicious and very hardy it was difficult for me to finish everything sometimes. The bathroom was very clean and there was warm water in the shower. I loved the family they took me in as if I was their own child they even drove me to the airport when I was leaving amazing and beautiful people.

I loved my placement. I worked at the kindergarten project the kids are so beautiful. I really felt like I was making a difference in these little kids' lives because the teacher really does need a lot of help. I absolutely fell in love with all of them and it was very hard to say goodbye. I only worked there for about 2 hours a day though so I really wish I could have been there longer and done more.

There were many highlights for me first of all my project placement as I said before I loved working with the kids and it was a life-changing experience. Also visiting all the amazing touristic spots such as Machu Picchu the Rainbow Mountain and many other archaeological zones that are just mind-blowing.

Probably one of my biggest highlights were the friendships that I made with the other volunteers on my program I have friends from different parts of the world that I hope to keep in touch with for a very long time.

The most important thing about this volunteering experience in Cape Town South Africa was that not only did we learn and serve in our respective programs we also came back home with an international family. That is to say I formed bonds with people of different nationalities and something I could observe was that despite the political economic and social differences or others of each person in the hostel we were all a single race "Human".

Experience as a volunteering in the Heathcare Program in Cape Town South Africa has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. That is as a current medical student I have taken a teaching and is that certainly not all knowledge is in the books. If we want to learn about health and be good health professionals in the future we have to venture into experiences like the one I had in Cape Town.

The goal of volunteering in the Healthcare Program was to learn about a health care system other than the one in which I belong (United States of America HealthCare System). And at this experience I learned and was able to compare and identify flaws in both the American Health System and the Health System of the Republic of South Africa.

My overall experience was great! I think largely in part because of the program I did as well as all the different people I met there. I also enjoyed going out and seeing some parts of Arusha and thought that the weekend trips helped make lasting memories.

The house was clean and spacious and in a good neighborhood. The food was alright.
I really enjoyed working at the project and I think that the experience is definitely worthwhile. Again I liked the independence that volunteers were given to go and help and organize themselves.

The chance to take some of the load off of the kids felt great. I think other than developing an attachment to the kids the other highlight was working with other volunteers and learning about the orphanage and the kids there.

My experience is one i'll cherish forever. I was welcomed with open arms at Wema (the maternity clinic) where I mostly observed babies being delivered. I saw the beauty Kenya has to offer at places including Massai Mara Hells Gate David Sheldrick elephant orphanage. I also met some amazing volunteers.

Coordinator Joe always answered my emails before I came to Kenya. In Kenya he also answered any problems I had. However he didn't come a lot to the volunteer house. Paul (the care taker) cooks very nice food.

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

I volunteered at Wema maternity clinic in Kenya. I mostly observed mothers give birth. Sometimes there weren't any mothers in labour and during such times while waiting for mothers to come I would cut gauzes or wash windows with other volunteers. The staff are all very nice. They welcomed me with open arms.

Massai Mara Hells Gate Visiting the Makimay childrens home meeting the other volunteers meeting the staff at wema clinic were the highlights of my volunteering trip in Kenya.

?

I've learned a lot in the span of two weeks both from the clinic and from my host family. Country Coordinators were welcoming and helpful.

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

The host family is the most generous home I've been in. I feel like they went above and beyond in making my stay safe and enjoyable. They deserve a raise :)

The experience was definitely worthwhile. Even though I'm a medical student I'm still in pre-clinical years so this was my first hands on experience. I particularly learned from the practitional nurses.

The family I stayed with the nurses and patients that accepted me despite me being new to the clinic and the beauty of cape town were highlihgts of my volunteering journey to South Africa.

The trip was great! I really loved the "Two Week Special" because you are always doing or seeing something. I felt like my time in Kenya went by fast but that is because we were always experiencing something new and interesting. The orphanage project was very rewarding. I could not ask for more. It was a wonderful time!

Joe and Paul were the absolute best! They were more than willing to answer any and all of our questions. I feel really lucky to have had such supportive local coordinators helping us along the way. I can't say enough nice things about both of them. They truly made my experience amazing!

Paul did a great job of making sure our accommodation was always clean. I absolutely loved his food! He worked really hard preparing great dishes. I was really happy to see him everyday! It was great living in a truly local residence. The neighbors were all really friendly and welcoming.

The orphanage was great. It was a truly real experience. The safari to the Massai Mara was amazing! Very well organized. The Giraffe Center and Elephant Orphanage were great too.

The experience is pretty awesome. This trip becomes the highlight of my summer since we have not only accomplished plenty of community service but also befriended with each other. We have immersed ourselves in Thai culture making contribution to the community and having fun with each other. I would be so excited to recommend this trip to others because it is so life changing.

The working part is pretty fun. We have done a lot things that are meaningful which are something that I am so glad for.

Friends are one of the most important parts in this trip. we have become really close friends at the end of the trip.

I found Volunteering Solutions to be everything I would hope for them to be. They were helpful respectful of my age in the request for a private room for my friend and I and generally a well rounded Introduction to the wonderful culture of India.

Our Co-ordinator was extremely helpful and would go out of his way to assist us in our translation of Hindi to English. He was always professional caring and Interested in how we were getting along. He was always quick to assist if we required anything also.

I ended up teaching children English which I wasn't expecting to do nevertheless I found it to be extremely rewarding and loved every minute of it.

Meeting and teaching the children and Student teachers which we were able to assist as well.

Kenya is such a beautiful country and as our host country it has been very welcoming. The natives appreciate when you attempt to speak to them in Swahili (even though it might be bad). In my group we have been very keen to learn the native language and have asked as many people as possible on our travels some Swahili words.

Our host Paul has been an absolute saint with all of us. He cooks our breakfast and dinner every single day. He looks after the apartment and is always there to answer any questions and help us out in any way. Because of this Julia Amy Stephanie Maryelle another Paul and myself took Paul out to dinner to one of Kenya's most famous restaurants carnivore). Thank you Paul for all you do for us and this was only a small gift for your generous hospitality. The coordinator Joe too has really been great at helping us book things (e.g. Taxis) informing us of what is good and bad etc.

Our country coordinators Joe and Paul both were amazing and so helpful.
Our time at the orphanage has been amazing. We met some really incredible people but most important of all we had the pleasure to meet play and interact with the most strongest of human beings...the children. On our first day of arriving at the orphanage (Amy Stephanie and myself) washed all the children's clothes.

We were shocked at why some many people came to watch us do this until one person told us that they had never seen a white person wash clothes before! Despite all the volunteers that come in us 3 were the first people to do so!

The highlights of the program was being able to meet such incredible people and life long friends. As a solo traveler you really do learn who you really are and how to interact and read people. I felt that the program took us away from the tourist environment and we behaved more as locals and were able to explore local life. We learned so much! The safari day was awesome.
Truly was an eyeopener to see animals in their natural environment not in cages and allowed to explore and hunt naturally. I feel in love with the children at the orphanage and it was so hard leaving them.

I had an amazing time and I can't wait to explore the world with volunteering solutions.Thank you Volunteering solutions.

My experience in Cusco was absolutely extraordinary. My home-stay was one of my favorite parts of my time there as the family was so kind to me and the other volunteers. I am a vegetarian and they went out of their way to accommodate me and make me feel like part of their family. I truly felt like I was making a difference in my volunteer work at the daycare center.

There was always something to do and it was such a joy to see the children learn and grow in the two weeks I was there. Every afternoon after I finished volunteering I took the bus into the city center with another volunteer. There is an endless amount of places to explore in Cusco and everything is very inexpensive. I was able to take day trips to Machu Picchu Humantay Lake Rainbow Mountain and the Sacred Valley at very little cost. I loved seeing Peru's beautifully diverse countryside and learning about its rich history. I returned to the United States wiser and more confident after immersing myself in Peru's culture for two weeks.

Coordinators Keli and Jenny were extremely helpful and kind to me. I loved going to volunteer everyday. The children are so friendly and lively and they have a great desire to learn. It was great to feel needed and see that I was helping the teacher. The highlight of my trip was the wonderful home-stay experience.

The host family was so warm and welcoming to me and my host mother even walked me to the bus stop early in the morning when I took day trips. There was also another volunteer and student in the house while I was there. We all became great friends and did several activities together. Volunteering in the daycare was also a highlight for me as it gave my trip purpose and meaning. I learned so much through my volunteer work and I hope the children were able to learn from me as well.

My family and I would like to thank all the coordinators at Volunteering Solutions who were so helpful to us as I prepared for my trip. My parents were able to send me to Peru feeling confident that I would be safe and receive assistance. I was and I did! The experience was more incredible than I could have even imagined! Thank you!

My overall experience was very rewarding for me. I was able to thoroughly engage in another culture and learn some aspects of the locals lives. I am very grateful for Volunteering Solutions and the programs they have offered me over the years.

The head program organizer was very helpful and a useful resource. He was constantly reliable. I was hoping for some sort of cooking so I can do some of my own cooking. However the food that was provided was always more than enough and enjoyable.

The turtle hatchery was amazing and I wish I could have spent more time of the day working there. The employees their were very passionate about their work and you could really feel their sincerity they have towards the turtles. They were also very helpful and a reliable resource as well.

My volunteer trip was excellent . It helped me a lot and I enjoyed to work with kids. Country Coordinators were very friendly and dedicating. The overall living experience was excellent. It was very comfortable and homely stay with all the facilities that I could have asked for.

The highlights for me on this program to contact with kids and families in Kayamandi
and I want to back to Kayamandi for 6 months.

My overall experience on my trip to Kerala is very good. The people we met were very friendly
and helpful our trips to different things in the country were amazing and the project was good.
We were safe all the time and got the help we needed. I only have good memories from the
trip!!

Local country coordinator was very Friendly and Supportive.
It was very comfortable and homely stay with all
the facilities that I could have asked for.It was a really beutiful place and it was amazing to have WIFI and clean water. The food was good and wasn't too spicy.

I enjoyed the project - the school for diasable people - very much. I had the feeling. that I made a difference and that we were welcomed. It was great to be a part of it just like the others who were there normally.

The highlights for me on this program that we were on a trip to a fun-park in Kochi Lullu Mall. It was great fun for us and for the children!

I really enjoyed being in South Africa! I lived at the hostel and I got a lot of amazing friends there. We did a lot of fun things together. I worked at a pre school and I loved it! The kids
where amazing and I enjoyed every moment with them. I learned so much from my experience in South Africa and I would definitely go back!

At the hostel I lived in we had a house manager named cassy and she was amazing! The sweetest person I ever meet.

The house was clean and spacious and in a good neighborhood. The food was alright.
My experience and the project was amazing! I really miss the kids I worked with and wished I could go back to them!

Very good experience Levolosi hospital was amazing. The house where I was living was great as well great food/accommodation great people.

At the project site I could participate a lot and when I told them my level I could do things according to that level. I'm a 4th-year medical student so I could participate a lot in the clinic.

Everyone at the house and the project were friendly and supportive.The highlight of the program - Participating so much in the clinic and the great atmosphere in the house. The safari and tours I could book through the house were amazing as well.

The Pre-departure booklet was excellent and accessing My Account was good too.
