I definitely loved the children and the moments when they smile and laugh. An amazing experience was the safari in the Massai Mara and my trip to the Hell's Gate National Park. I would recommend every future volunteer to go there.

The local stuff at the orphanage is really friendly and caring. But even though it may be normal for Africa the work there wasn't well organized. Sometimes the food was really good and I loved it but sometimes I only had e.g plain spaghetti. There should have been more vegetables and less carbs. The accommodation was really nice if you compare it to the African standard.

The overall design of the website was quite attractive and navigating the site was easy. The pre-departure booklet is also good. Although I felt 40-50 USD what is advised in the booklet is definitely not enough per week.

I would recommend VolSol to anyone i know is willing to volunteer abroad mostly because of the variety of programs.

Hard to pick my favorite moments they were all so great! I loved the first day going to see all of the temples in Bangkok and taking the rainbow boat. Also JJ Market was spectacular (even in the rain)! The kiddos in Surin were adorable I miss their smiling faces every single day the restoration although super hot was amazing and felt good to help the cuties we'd worked with. Going to the river every day to bathe with the elephants was also something I will never forget!

I felt my efforts get appreciated it makes me so happy that our work meant something. I loved every minute of my trip to Thailand even the super sweaty parts! It definitely makes me appreciate things in America a lot more than I did before. We had a great time painting weeding picking up trash etc and I still remember the big hug the teachers gave us when we finished.

The house was clean and spacious and in a good neighborhood. The food was alright. The staff was very friendly and supportive. They made the program easier and smooth. ?My tour guide Mickey was one of the highlights of the trip. He is so kind and funny and did not hesitate to help us with whatever we needed. Truly one of the things I miss most about Thailand. Amazing tour guide!

The website design was very attractive I find it very easy to navigate. The staff support is also outstanding. They all were very friendly and supportive. They made the program easier and smooth.

I find my experience worthwhile. Some of the highlights of my trip are:

1. Elephant Village Homestay with Mr. Lee
2. Weekend in Cambodia visiting National Park & Angkor Wat
3. Exploring the beaches of Koh Phangan
4. Experiencing the culture food people cities and landscapes around different parts of Thailand

The daily itinerary was great--maybe more specifics on the packing list. Types of pants shorts shirts etc. to bring would've been more helpful. There are things I wish I would've brought more of or not brought at all because of the type of fabric they were etc.

I very much enjoyed all the living accommodations we experienced during the Summer Special program. After staying at our hotels in Surin Koh Phangan and Khao Yai it was hard to come back. The food at all lodging places was good too.

The website was easy to pursue. I easily found any information I wanted. Especially with the normal web page. The pre-departure book was very helpful and I used it often.

I learned a lot & was able to gain valuable insight about approaching patient care. Being in the OT and getting to see surgery are the highlight of my volunteering experience. These are procedures I wouldn't have access to back home.

Accommodation and meals were just fine. I felt safe & secure & always had plenty to eat. I appreciate all the work towards making meals for us. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Thank you for everything.

Volunteering in the slums in Delhi experiencing Indian culture including food dress and traditions visiting the Taj Mahal spending time with the other wonderful people in our group of volunteers volunteering in Palampur are few of my favorite moments from the whole India trip.

The children were so excited to see us in Delhi they were happy to have someone there to pay attention to them and listen to them and they were eager to share their culture with us by teaching us Indian dances or about Indian dress etc. in Palampur they were very happy to have a new look for their daycare centre and the room looked so much bigger and brighter after we were finished painting murals.

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.

The content on the website was appropriate and helped me get the information I was looking for but I would prefer more detailed kit list in the pre-departure booklet.

The service of the staff in regards to answering my questions and helping me prepare for my trip was outstanding. I would highly recommend VolSol to my friends and family mostly because of the services.

Thank you for everything I had an amazing trip.

I loved the trip really has opened up my life to India. It shows how good a country is. I will definitely come back to India after falling in love with the country. The experience was amazing and I'm very happy that I've done it. I'd recommend it to everyone that would want to go to India. I felt very appreciated at the projects as the locals were very friendly and thankful for what we did.

The accommodation was all very good and are of a high standard I especially liked the guest house in Delhi due to the homely feel it had. The overall living experience was excellent.

The service was always very good and up to a high standard. At all point in the trip I feel safe with the staff. The staff was very supportive in all areas. Especially Parag Shankar Bobby and Amit.

I would instantly recommend this program to all of my friends and family and anyone else who is thinking about traveling to any parts of the world that Volunteering Solutions covered.

I look forward to traveling with volunteering solutions in the future.

ATV riding on Playa Jaco feeding the children during lunch (specific to all days) and hiking into the hills behind my house and making it into the clouds are few of the amazing moments I had during my volunteering trip to Costa Rica. My experience was eye-opening and the ladies who ran the daycare center definitely appreciated all of the help they could get.

Everything was very clear in the Pre-departure booklet received us from the VolSol Team to prepare us for the trip.

Meals are a good mix between homecooked meals and meals of different cuisines and well-suggested places for travelling with a group Everything was amazing.

The orientation session was really well conducted. We get a proper information about what we have to take care of local languages cultures few Hindi phrases and many other little things that were useful and important for our trip.

Having lunch at the local restaurant named Nathu’s in Delhi is something I will never forget it was very delicious. Visiting the beautiful Akshardham temple in Delhi and the Wonders of The World Taj Mahal and Marble Factory in Agra witnessing tea plantation in Palampur and working with Elephants in Jaipur are few of my favorite moments.

Everyone from the in-country staff was amazing. Each one has a different personality that made the trip even better.

I will definitely recommend this program to everyone. I have already recommended this to few of my friends.

I am sharing this feedback on behalf of myself and my cousin Ciara Fenlon as we traveled together. On this volunteering trip I enjoyed meeting the other volunteers in the house and making friends with the locals experiencing the local way of living and our weekend trip to Mole. Also the thank you concert put on by the village school children on our last day and Giving the toys that we brought to the children in the orphanage are few of those special moments that we cherished during our stay.

For volunteers traveling during Ramadan it would be helpful to know that no shorts or dresses can be worn as that is all that we brought so we struggled with getting washed each day.

The service staff was outstanding. I would recommend VolSol to anyone I know is willing to volunteer abroad mostly because of the variety of programs.

I really enjoyed playing with kids teaching them hanging out with other volunteers and learning more about the culture difference.

The pre-departure booklet was very useful. Good checklist for documents needed on the trip. There could have been more information on Visa cost + application reassuring step by step advice when arriving at the airport information on specific programs + age group prior to departure.

I enjoyed the placement. The children and the staff all were very nice. I enjoyed having younger children but perhaps an option of either younger or older children could have been preferred for some. The 1-hour journey was not a problem but was not anticipated so warning could be given. Overall very good!

All meals were very tasty but basic could have been nice to have some chutneys etc with meals. And fresh fruit at breakfast could be offered. Nice to have tea at breakfast.

The Kids were the highlights! The Golden Triangle Tour was a lot of fun and the whole hostel went to Hauz Khas village was great.

I absolutely recommend this program. It has been a real eye opener. I learned a great deal about Indian culture and myself! An experience! I will remember for the rest of my life! Thank you!!

All the staff was very kind and accommodating. Rajiv and Priya were always very happy to help.

WiFi and water supply is a bit concern other than that all very good and I enjoyed my time in Delhi very much!

I really liked the personal page for my trip on the website. The pre-departure booklet was very helpful - especially the language section. Some relevant medical terms/phrases would be helpful for hospital volunteers. The service staff was also very helpful.

I loved my placement and didn't want to leave! It was very worthwhile. The accommodation and meals were great! Much better than what I had expected! The in-country staff was great and so helpful.

The highlight was being able to go to orphanages and schools some days rather than the hospitals so we could help the kids a little whether it was fixing up scratches or handing out toothbrushes.

It was a great program thank you very much for the wonderful placement. The project coordinator in Uganda does a fantastic job. I would definitely recommend the program.

My volunteer experience has been wonderful I had a lot of fun and a really great time. I love the kids the people here are very nice. The Hospital was great very good experience something I wouldn't have gotten back home and I am looking forward to coming back as soon as I can I say that from the bottom of my heart. The in-country coordinator is great she did a wonderful job.

I have learned a lot more than I can talk about but really everyone has their own battles and struggles that they go through and everyone is different so that's what I learned what's right for the one person is not right for the next you have to take everything as someone says.

What I like the most about the website was how well everything was explained plus the big amount of information about the program. It really helped me feel confident and safe. The pre-departure booklet was very helpful and the service staff replied my queries in less than 24 hours.

I enjoyed my placement. It was shocking at the beginning but that’s what volunteers are looking for anything different from our comfort zone. The children are nice and welcoming so are the teachers and all the staff.

The accommodation is not bad. I’d like to have our own space like a living room and the kitchen downstairs as the other placements do.

The in-country staff was helpful. What makes this experience unforgettable is the kids. Also the different culture and the great people you meet from another part of the world.

I liked that you could contract the program directors on the website. We were able to ask a lot of question and they got back to us promptly. The booklet was very helpful and the staff was amazing at answering questions efficiently and in a timely manner.

I loved it ! The kids were so cute and eager to learn. They loved having fun and were respectful. I will never forget them and I am grateful to have met each one of them.

The accommodation was good. I loved having AC at night! I also liked all the bolts on the doors cause it made me feel safe The meals were amazing! Wow! I looked forward to every single meal ! Great cooks!

I can’t say enough good things about the staff. All of them were friendly helpful and made me feel at home. I know that if I had a problem I could go to anyone and they would help. Thank you so much!

There were so many highlights! The biggest was the people. Getting to know Shankar and Ramesh and the other staff members was a pleasure. The kids were so amazing! It was so fun to work with Shmita and Rajiv at the School.

Ofcourse I will recommend this program! this program was life changing!

Thank you so much for this opportunity. I enjoyed it so much and will never forget all of you! Thank you and I love you all!

The website layout is good easy steps and very clear about expectation/requirements needed to participate in Program. It would be great to know more before we come about what we would be doing. The pre-departure booklet and service staff were awesome.

I loved the project. Rajiv and Sunita were great the kids were great... I loved working with everyone for 3 weeks. So sad to leave! I will miss everyone!

Accommodation and meals were great. Shankar and Ramesh are amazing. The food was delicious. It was a great taste of Indian culture. The accommodation was clean and tidy very nice.

I can’t say it enough the in-country staff Ramesh and Shankar were Amazing! Thank you to all other staff as well– our stay was great. I always felt safe and taken care of.

Our accommodation & staff at the accommodation were great. The highlight for me was interacting with the kids. It was also great to know that they had amazing people looking out for them like Rajiv & Sunita. The School itself was great.

It would be better if there will be more guidance and descriptions about the goal of the school and what is expected such as what is to be taught what the kids like to be taught etc. At first it’s a little confusing we are wondering what to do with the kids. Some suggestions would be good. Not a big deal though– everything was great!
Thank You!

I really liked the volunteers reviews section on the website. The Pre-Departure Info Booklet was useful. However I wish that I was told we had to pay our transportation to our placement. The service staff was very efficient and pretty fast to respond.

I enjoyed working at my placement. However I just didn't like how every day we had to find the doctors who we are shadowing. It was quite disorganized. The experience was worthwhile .

The meals were very delicious and the accommodation was well kept. The in-country support staff was also very helpful. Living with the host family volunteering at the hospital and the tours are the most exciting part of the whole trip.

I liked how friendly the website is in a way that explains everything not a lot of text and goes straight to the important information . The pre-departure booklet also has very good information complete and specific. Service staff was great always answering my questions

I totally enjoyed my placement. Meals although taste great but are very repetitive. Breakfast never changed . Every single day was eggs and toast. The In country coordinator and support staff were Great! Always helping and gave us every time a lot of support.

Getting to bond with kids is an amazing experience to get to spend some time with babies play with them take care of them learning some Swahili getting deep into Kenya with people doing using transport eating and living like locals is the highlight of my trip. :)

I would like to see more volunteers pictures or videos on the website especially the latest ones.

Loved the experience !! Thanks a lot!!

I thought the website was very well organized and easy to navigate.
The pre-departure booklet was incredibly helpful when planning for my trip. It helped me to know what to pack and what to anticipate for my experience over in India. The staff answered all of my questions very quickly and thoroughly.

I absolutely loved my project. It was an incredible organization which I hope to be able to work with in the future. I would like to hope they found my presence useful. I made a very nice connection with the girls at the orphanage and still keep in touch with them via email.

The meals were very nice. All vegetarian and very filling. Rajiv and his staff were more than helpful with whatever questions we had during our stay. They helped us with sightseeing opportunities as well as local restaurants and shopping.

The highlight of my trip was seeing the smiles on the girls' faces at the orphanage every time we walked in each day. They were so excited to see us and warmly welcomed us every afternoon.

I really appreciate the links to interviews and reviews of the projects and accommodations and found them very informative. The opportunity to chat online with a coordinator was definitely a help as well.

While coordinators were very helpful in answering our questions through chat/email it would be really nice to know about the project beforehand ( Such as what kind of things the kids need home many kids are there etc.)

I loved the project working with the kids has been so rewarding. I feel like they teach me more than I can teach them! I will miss them so much!!!

Excellent Food. I think I am going to miss the breakfasts especially My brothers were very jealous before I came here because of all the delicious Indian food I would be eating!

Shankar Ramesh Rajiv Dheeraj Parag Sahil Shreya – everyone has been just wonderful and very accommodating! The same goes for Rajiv and Shmita – so welcoming!

The kids for sure the highlight of my trip. Their bright faces and love and energy will be in my memory forever. I wish I could bring them all home.

Our trek was a little rough but everyone was very accommodating and willing to work things out. Thank you so much for an unforgettable amazing experience!Hope to see you all again someday!
