I very much enjoyed my program placement and everything I did is a highlight for me. Accommodation was great. The homestay part of my trip was much better than I expected it to be and the home owner was really charming.



Our coordinator was perfect and he was behind the scenes helping me out and was frequently checking on me to make sure everything was going great. My guide in Thailand was everything I could have asked for and more. She was simply fantastic (Prae).



Keep doing what you are doing. It was a great trip that I will always remember. I will surely recommend this program to anyone who is interested in going to Thailand.

The " My Account" tab helped keep all the information about my program extremely well organized and helped me keep track of everything. The staff at VS returned emails that I had sent with questions within 24 hours.



I loved my project and had a great time working with the kids and getting to know the teachers :) I liked the age group that I was with and felt like I could teach them something and they were all extremely appreciative.



I genuinely enjoyed the submersion into real Costa Rican life. I felt like I had become a part of the country its culture and its traditions. I fell in love with my host family and the kids at my program and the other volunteers that I met on this wonderful journey. This was one of the most incredible experiences of my life :)



I loved the people that I was staying with they made me feel like I was a part of the family and I was fed 3 large meals each day and they were very courteous about my food likes and dislikes and the house was very clean and comfortable.

The accommodation and meals both were good and better than what we expected. Our coordinators were friendly and helpful throughout our stay in India.

I would surely recommend this program option to anyone who is interested in volunteering in India.

Everyone was helpful when I had a question but I would recommend a little more structure up front about deadlines for payment and such. It would have been good to have email reminders too.

I felt like even though I only stayed for eight weeks I was able to feel like my presence was very much appreciated and helpful.



I thought the host family was very kind and helpful. However I did find it very lonely at times so I decided to move to the Guesthouse where all the other volunteers were. After moving I was able to connect with more volunteers and enjoy my time more. The local coordinators were very helpful and welcoming. If we ever had any questions or concerns we could address it with them and they would sort it all out. It was wonderful having that support.



Definitely the people I have met was my highlight from volunteering in Cambodia. I have created life long friendships with so many amazing people from all over the world. From other volunteers to my students and to the staff of the organization I worked at. It was absolutely incredible. Such a wonderful and positive experience. While it was very difficult at times I found myself being challenged both mentally and physically which is what I wanted. I am so glad I had decided to volunteer in Cambodia and I would encourage anyone who reads this to do it also! It is life changing!

The house was nice and calm the meals were good. Joe was nice as well. I would recommend this program and the organization. It is one of a Kind. And hopefully next year will join again.

I could not have hoped for a better experience in the medical clinic the doctors and nurses were very welcoming and I gained plenty of hands-on experience. My experience was absolutely worthwile I only wish I had spent more than 6 weeks. I felt very appreciated by the patients and the staff in the clinic.

I learned a ton from the staff and after a while was able to apply what I had learned and assist in minor procedures or speak with the patients. My relationship with my host family was a close second to my experience in the clinic. My relationship with my host family was a close second to my experience in the clinic.

Share your experience of volunteering with Volunteering Solutions in Palampur India!!
I was a volunteer at a daycare center in India Palampur region for 2 weeks. It was such a joy to work with these kids and get to know their culture and how they actually live. Palampur was breathtaking and the people so warm and friendly. The volunteers house so welcoming and warm .The coordinators so helpful and encouraging! I can&rsquo t imagine anything that would have given me more inner peace and delight than being able to wake up everyday and go to work with those kids. We got to help them with their English encourage them to try new things and get to see them enjoy our company!
&ldquo The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others. &rdquo

says Mahatma Gandhi.
I guess you can say it&rsquo s a way to find yourself and enjoy the peace charm and beauty of India and its people when you visit the charming Palampur!
Thank you Volunteering Solutions for an experience of a life time. Can&rsquo t wait for more volunteering and more amazing moments with this program.

I was in Africa for two weeks and i keep wishing i had more time there. I met some amazing people had the experience of a lifetime . I have memories that are so deeply engraved in me i truly believe i will never ever forget them . The kids were as sweet as possible my time with them in the classroom was more than enjoyable. I felt so proud when 6 year old Marlon learned to write the number 6. I still smile when i remember him drag the chalk on the blackboard saying " down circle" .



If you need change in your life perspective an experience like no other! If you need to feel loved and give a bit back to the universe ! If you want to draw smiles on those kids faces simply by being there for them i recommend a volunteering trip . Meeting people from different backgrounds seeing the kids everyday feeling the gratitude and the joy of helping people are all part of what i lived during my stay in Kenya!



I wish it for everyone who has love in their hearts!

I really enjoyed working in the hospital and it provided me with many valuable experiences that I do not want to miss. The hospital where I worked is good staffed. I do not want to miss the experience I made in Nepal. It was important for me to see and feel how people in other cultures live. I always find it amazing how friendly and helpful most poor people are! Sad moments such as peopled who cannot afford live-saving therapies are also important for me to experience. i more and more have the desire to give something back for my luck to live in a rich country. Apart from the work I appreciate the opportunity I had to get to know the culture of Nepalese. Living in the family provided my with deep insight which a tourist staying in a hotel would never experience. In particular I appreciated that the hospital staff and the family invited us to join their ceremonies on occasion of the ' Festival of the Lights' (Diwali).



The accommodation in the family was fantastic and I enjoyed the food. The family where I stayed together with 3 other volunteers entails 8 orphans the ' mother' and her adult son. All very helpful and friendly people and the kids are really nice! The accommodation provided much more than I would have expected including a hot shower and WLAN. Uma is a very experienced coordinator and she is always helpful and a lovely person.



Without any doubt I will recommend this organization to anyone.
