I liked the information section on Volunteering Solutions website. All the steps to follow (Payment Air Ticket Insurance etc.) were well explained. It was very easy to communicate with the staff members. We always had answers in few days.
I appreciate the fact that we worked at different placements. I appreciate both clinic and school. According to me patient home visits were the most interesting experience. It was good to see the patients and interact with all family members. I think the patients really appreciate it as I realized how difficult it was for them to go to the clinics.
The accommodation is very comfortable . The food is very good no matter who is cooking (Charan or Joginder). Everything is well organized and I would recommend it to others for sure. Staff members (Bobby Amit and Afzal) are nice open minded and always there to answer our questions.

Even if it has been for few days i really appreciate the strength and the motivation of the women at the NGO. They made me participate to their work and gave me many information. Real interactions with people cultural exchanges different problems and situations faced were undoubtedly the highlight from this trip.
The accommodation was great and the family very very welcoming (a big thank to them to make me feel like at home during the week) and the meals were good.
Ali the coordinator was very helpful. He showed me around made sure everything was working in the proper way and was always ready to discuss and share experiences.

The pre departure booklet was really useful providing me with many helpful info. VS staff always replied promptly.
I really liked my program placement and it' s actually simple work but requires patience and care to others. The week tree really changes a lot thoughts of me. The placement was totally worth it and staff there were all so nice. I would love to stay there for longer time if I could.
Every single day is a memorable and precious to me because I' ve seen how those admirable people taking care of children day after day and I' m so glad to be a part of them.
The accommodation and meals were amazing! It' s a beautiful raid in Medina busy and convenient in the daytime and also quiet at night. I couldn' t be more grateful for my host family and their hospitality. I spent an incredible week with them! Ali our coordinator is an amazing person and a grate friend. He showed me around provided a lot of supports to me and helped me to adapt to my placement there. Many thanks to him!
I will surely recommend this program to others.

The pre departure booklet was one of the most helpful and reassuring thing and I was happy to receive it. As mentioned above the staff was great and fast with answering any questions and helping me where there were problems.
I enjoyed my program placement very much. The children are despite the circumstances they have to live in/with very joyful excited and motivated. It is impossible not to be happy around them and there so many bright and intelligent children. I am really happy to have gotten the chance and privilege of not only teaching them but getting to know them. The highlight from the trip were the children. To see the way their eyes light when you walk in the room or praise them when they are really hard trying to understand. There is no bigger reward than knowing that I could get them to smile. The extra trips to Taj Mahal and Jaipur were incredibly good but also just being here. Everything was really really great.
The accommodation was really good. Always clean and pleasant with working electricity and running waters. The meals were probably one of my favorite things always very tasty and very well cooked.
The staff here was wonderful and always very helpful. Whenever I had any questions doubts or problems there was always someone to help me out. Shankar was very helpful and brings a lot of joy in the house.
I will surely recommend this program. I also want to say thank you for giving people this wonderful experience. I have learned and seen so many things here that I wont ever forget also the people I have to gotten to know are of great worth. Thank you so much. :)

The pre departure booklet was very useful. Staff were very helpful and answered any questions quickly.
I had the best of both worlds I got to spend time with the kids at Save Lives Foundations and going to the school to work in the nursery kindergarten I got to play with the kids and give them lots of love. The love and smiles I got back from the kids was worth a million dollars and I felt I made a difference. I got a presentation from the school and it was very emotional for me I' m not used with getting praise but they made me sound like a god. I was just trying to make everyday a happy day for the kids so they could forget their troubles .
The children were surely the highlight for me. And the love from all the local people. Everybody was amazing.
The accommodation was fine and food was good missed meat but there was lots of good mo-mos around so nobody was starving. Good to get local food . Uma was great she could answer any question and organized taxi to airport had lots of good advice felt like a mother hen. I felt very well looked after at home.
I liked the fact I didn' t have to pay lots of money to take part in this program it meant I had more money to spend on the kids and buying books pencils etc for the school and chocolate. A great experience that I will never forget.

The pre departure information booklet was excellent it provides all the information I need for my program. All the staff members are very friendly and helpful they responded to my emails quickly and answered all my questions.
I really enjoyed working at my project placement. It was a great experience for me and for the school as well. The staffs at the school appreciated my effort in playing sports with the children and helping them doing simple sport assessments for the children.
I loved the accommodation and the meals provided. My host family was very nice and accommodating. We were allowed to use basically everything in the house. I felt like I was just staying at my own home.
The service and support of the in country coordinator and support staff were excellent. They provided all the information we needed and the orientation day was done very well I enjoyed it a lot.
This volunteering trip definitely broadened my vision and I have learnt a lot from it. I volunteered because I wanted to give back to the world and to help the poor community in Cape Town but it turned out that I gained more than I gave. This trip the people the community the school and the children made me realized how lucky I am. They also taught me to treasure things and that happiness can be very simple.
I would highly recommend others to join Volunteering Solutions if they want to Volunteer Abroad.

I loved the program placement as it was so nice. When I taught something to them. They always learned everything so fast and really enjoyed . They made me so happy. The highlight was spending time with the children.

I had an unforgettable memory here so I will surely recommend it.

I liked my program placement very much. I had a great time there and I was Sorry that I had to leave. The experience of doing volunteering work at the Galapagos was great and from the first moment I came at the center I was part of it. The contact with my colleague and the children and their parents is something I will never forget.
The accommodation was fine. I had a room for myself with my own bathroom on a good location 10 minutes walking from the work. The meals were okay but not super. But when you are in another country you need to adapt!
The contacts I had at work the beautiful island and the opportunity to speak Spanish all the time were the highlights from the trip.
I will surely recommend this program option to anyone.

The pre departure booklet was very informative. All in all we were very well prepared for out trip and the staff helped us with everything.
It was my first experience in volunteering abroad the children were amazing our host house was perfect. The orphanage was choking at first but we managed to spend time with the children trying to create some activities and help them out with their homework.
The accommodation was very clean and very well equipped to host volunteered from different places in the world. Uma was extremely helpful she made sure we were safe in very where we used to visit.
To volunteer is to contribute your goodness and works to humanity unselfishly without seeking any rewards. It was worth spending the holidays with these angels.

First of all I really liked how the website included all the necessary information it is very well organized and detail oriented. Moreover it contained all the programs and the varieties VS offers. The pre-departure booklet was very helpful in terms of assisting us and providing us with the necessary information needed for our trip. The sections were all very clear.
The project was very interesting the people were very nice and the kids are amazing. My experience was definitely worthwhile it was a new experience full of different things. considering I was only there for a week I am not sure how much of an impact I made. However I do feel that my efforts were somehow appreciated even if it was only a small percentage.
The accommodation was good. It was clean comfortable and calm. The meals were great and trying Nepalese food and being able to live with them gave me a taste of a different culture learning how to accommodate.
The highlight of my volunteering experience was the fact that i got to discover how these kids are how strong and independent most of them turn out to be. Moreover it made me realize that i would like to do it again! As for the trip as a whole discovering Nepal was an amazing experience. All of it especially going to Pokhara!
Thank you Volunteering Solutions. Looking forward to dealing with you soon :):)

I absolutely loved my trip was easily the best trip I have ever experienced. I wish I could do it again but I wanna go to a different country with Volunteering Solutions.
The accommodation was amazing and I loved how we could choose what we eat. Also Juan is one hell of a cook. My highlight was riding an elephant as it was an amazing experience.
I wanna thank you guys for letting me extend my trip. Just because of that I value you guys and your kindness. Since the last organization I volunteered with gave me no such option nor they gave me a discount after volunteering with them for 6 straight summers. so I wanna thank you for your kind hospitality and I will again volunteer with you.

I enjoyed working at the children home and definitely loved the kids. In the beginning they were very shy but after a while everyone started opening up to me which was an amazing experience. Sometimes I felt like us volunteers were not needed that much at the project though. The food was great and I loved the staff. My experience was definitely worthwhile. I really enjoyed it for the 3 weeks of being there but I would not have wanted to stay much longer than that.
The highlight was definitely seeing some of the kids especially the boys who had been distant and shy for a long time finally coming up to me and suddenly trying to interact with me etc.! In my third week I could see the improvements every day and I finally actually got to practice English with the kids and interact with them rather than just playing badminton soccer etc.
The accommodation was nice and the meals at the children home were delicious. I loved the food so much I would eat way too much. I really liked the volunteer house. The local staff were great and helped me out a lot. When I was sick they took me to the hospital and would ask me how I felt every day. I really felt like they cared and did everything to make me happy.
Overall I am happy with the project and the trip altogether. I will recommend this program to anyone.

The Volunteering Solutions website was very organized and easy to use. I liked how our progress was constantly updated and we had constant communication with program coordinator if we were missing certain items. The pre departure booklet was laid out professionally and clearly.
I thoroughly enjoyed my program placement. I also met lot of nice people and I really felt like I was making a difference by being here. The highlight was to give injections to locals because doctors/nurses refused due to the government strike. It was very humbling and moving and I truly felt like I was doing good for the people of Peru.
Meals were excellent and accommodation was comfortable. Jennie was extremely nice and hospitable and made us feel like part of the family. Her parents were absolutely wonderful.
I just loved this program so I will surely recommend this to others.

I really liked my program placement and there were enough patients despite doctors strike and Obstetrics was busy enough too. I loved getting to know the staff and chatting with them. I got competent in giving shots which I was a bit timid about before.
My highlights was getting to know the locals through working at the clinic and taking Salsa classes during free time. I have plenty of friends to visit when I came back.
Going in to the program I thought I would be a single volunteer living with a family but I liked the accommodations and the other volunteers. The food was really good and healthy there was enough to eat.
Jenny our coordinator was really nice and her kids were fun. I will surely recommend this to others but it can easily be uneventful if you don' t talk to the doctors and nurses and you should let them know that you want to learn new skills.

I just wanted to thank you for everything and this three week ThaiIand program was beyond amazing! I had the time of my life! It was so much fun and the coordinators were incredible. The only bad part of this program was having to leave it! I learnt so much in the short amount of time I was here and this has taught me a lot about myself too :) I will cherish this program in my heart forever.
