I liked the feedback- videos of the other volunteers who did the same program. So I could see how everything will be. I also liked the plenty variety of different projects you are offering there. So many countries with different cultures to go and to visit. Pre-departure booklet was good and informative! I also liked that there was always someone who could help you with your concerns that quickly =)!

I loved the placement with the kids because they were so nice and gave me so much love back. I also enjoyed the communication with my colleagues because they were so friendly and always helped me when I didn&rsquo t know what to do with the kids. They were so nice to me. To get to know a totally different kind of culture with its facets and to get more independent from home is the highlight from this program.

During that time I could live in a host family with two guys almost in my age. That was good to do something together in my spare time. My host mum was always very kind to me and when I had a problem I always could ask her and she helped me also to understand more the &ndash for me-new culture. The meals always have been so delicious and fresh. I enjoyed it a lot.

Yes I would recommend this program to anyone.

There are so many interesting areas on your website it is hard to decide what I actually like most. However as I decided to work as a volunteer I of course especially like the section &ldquo Volunteer abroad&rdquo . I am proud to see some pictures of myself on your website and I am happy that I could make a valuable contribution to you and especially the children of my project. I also like the way your website presents the organization and the projects. You can get a good overview about all the possibilities and opportunities you have. Furthermore I like the variety of countries you offer projects in.


The Pre Departure Booklet was really helpful especially to calm myself down as I have been really nervous before my departure. I had so many questions and most of them where answered by reading the booklet or sending e-mails to volunteering solutions. I really appreciated that I got an answer to my e-mail straight away. I was actually wondering whether I was the only volunteer to that time or whether I was so special that people answered me so quickly &ndash sometimes in less than 24 hours. However I definitely felt much more confident due to the personal form of address and the open and friendly way the staff presented themselves.

I actually loved working at my Project!!! To do a Volunteering Project was literally the best decision I have ever made. Working with the children didn&rsquo t just give me the feeling of being needed but also helped me to get to know myself much better and to develop in a positive way. I just hope that even thought I have been there for such a short time the children will remember me. I cannot say whether they really understood what I tried to teach them but I think each impulse will have an effect no matter how marginal it is. I actually had a couple of highlights during my volunteering experience. The work with the children has fully captured me and I was simply happy to work with them. I think that I have made the best out of the short time I spent in Cape Town. I did anything you could do: I went up Table Mountain twice I did the Lions Head the Western Cape and Garden Route Tour I went Bungee Jumping Shark Cage Diving Abseiling Elephant riding Quad Biking Sky Diving AND I even had time to visit some museums.

The accommodation and Meals were alright. I definitely had to get used to the circumstances but this was an experience I will never miss in my live. Especially if you take the reasonable program fee into account the accommodation and meals where more than appropriate. I cannot complain as I felt home in the Hostel straight away. As I already mentioned the local coordinating team in South Africa were amazing. I am not only staying in contact with some of them I actually made friends with them. It doesn&rsquo t matter what or who I needed there was always somebody ready to help me. Even if there weren&rsquo t any other volunteers around they didn&rsquo t mind joining me for a hike or a tour with the children. Without these people and their friendliness the whole project wouldn&rsquo t work.

I would always recommend this program. As I said it was the best decision I have ever made. I actually fell in love with the country the city the people the amazing landscape the mountains the sea &hellip and of course with my children. Thanks a lot for everything!!

The accommodation is nice less space but many international volunteers. 3 days per week we got a voucher for a restaurant one day we got pizza and the other 3 days we had to cook by ourselves. The coordinator was good. Every question was answered. We had a really nice coordinator so there is nothing negative to say.

I would surely recommend Volunteering Solutions.

The orphanage was difficult to volunteer at with how emotionally draining it was to see such heart breaking things but it felt really worthwhile and I loved the children. I will miss them very much.

The home stay with host family was a great experience . They were so warm and accommodating and always a joy to come home to. The meals were good even for vegetarians like myself.

I Love the program placement at hospital. I also liked being able to help out in other areas like school the village and the orphanage. The highlight of my trip was seeing a little 2 week old baby at the hospital open his eyes and move around after being unconscious the day before because Rose bought him and gave him medication as his family couldn' t afford. It made me realize that once person can make a difference.

The accommodation was great! I was not expecting to have my own room and fan so that was very nice. Rose always made very good meals. My coordinator was very helpful in answering questions before hand too. I will surely recommend Volunteering Solutions. I just wish I could stay longer and hope to come back soon.

I have taught in Ghana for two months at a school. And I worked mainly in a village and I taught the older students math and English. In the afternoon I was also at a girls school.

Were you satisfied with the accommodation and food? Yes the house was beautiful. I lived in a house with other volunteers. It was not too far into the city but also not too far into the village. The food was fine.

Have you got along well with the contact person on site? Yes very good beginning. He has always tried to make me what I wanted to do.

What were the highlights of your stay? In any case to play football with the kids. I bought them with other volunteers together a new game and they were very pleased that the next day the whole village knew my name but also practice reading for me . My weekend trips to the Kintampo waterfalls were also very enjoyable.

Would you recommend this project? Absolutely! It' s a great experience no one should miss. In no other way you can learn about a foreign culture so well.

What areas did you like about our website?
1. Clear information
2. Easy to understand
3. Details of what was included/not included in the pricing.

How did you find the pre departure booklet given to you and the service of the staff in regards to answering your questions and helping you prepare?
Both the booklet and staff support were excellent. My emails were answered very promptly and contained all the information I wanted. This was important as it set the scene and let me know I was dealing with a professional organization that provided quality customer service.

Did you enjoy working at your project / placement?
Yes definitely. The teaching in the school was not as rewarding as I had anticipated. The children were great but the teachers did not take any interest in me or the children.

In the afternoons on Monday Wednesday and Friday I had the opportunity to work with pre-schoolers at the tea gardens. This was fantastic as I was allowed to communicate and play with the kids in such a way that allowed the kids to be themselves. Despite working with the kids for only 3 weeks I could see my efforts through their learning.

Accommodation and meals
The accommodation was more than adequate. My room was clean and tidy the bed comfortable and I was made to feel very welcome by Bobby and Pratima.

Meals were also very enjoyable. The staple diet of rice chapattis and dal were supplemented with vegetables salad soup and occasionally dessert. The food was tasty and nourishing.

Coordinator
In Palampur Bobby and Amit were fantastic. They provided a safe environment and took time to answer my questions about India its culture and history. Bobby made me feel very welcome on my arrival and opened up his house to me. Both Bobby and Amit are professional but also take time to get to know each volunteer personally. I would have no hesitation in returning to Palampur with them as my coordinators.

This whole experience has been more than I expected. India has captured my heart.

What was the highlight of your volunteering experience and your trip?
1. Delhi - sightseeing day visiting Qutub Minar Lotus Temple Humayun&rsquo s Tomb Gandhi Smriti.
2. Agra &ndash the Taj Mahal is breathtaking. Pictures can never do justice to this marvelous building.
3. Palampur &ndash trekking in the Himalayas teaching pre-schoolers at the Arla tea gardens.

Would you recommend this program and our organization to others? yes/no
Most definitely. In fact I am currently corresponding with a South African student who is thinking of doing this program. I am sharing my experiences with him and encouraging him to sign up.

Any comments and suggestions
The 1 week orientation in Delhi can not be underestimated. I personally think this should be compulsory for volunteers who are traveling to India for the first time. I learned so much during this week. The basic Hindi lessons proved very valuable in communicating with the kids and also for generally getting around.

I liked the website. I was able to read past volunteers reviews on their experience. The pre departure booklet was very informative and thorough. It answered pretty much all of my questions. I lessened my worries on what to expect and bring.

I loved working at my hospital placement very much. I learned a lot from all the nurses and doctors. They all were very friendly and kind. The highlight of my volunteering at the hospital was being able to start IVS for the patients that needed the treatment. The nurses always helped and taught me how to do things. This 3 months trip was the best experience I have been through. I Loved traveling in Nepal meeting the kids and meeting other volunteers.

Living with Uma Abhishek and the kids at the orphanage was wonderful. They are all very kind and fun to be around. My room was clean and was presented with clean sheets pillow and blanket on my bed when i arrived. I was given 3 meals a day which were always delicious.

I would definitely recommend this to my friend and someone else that is interested in doing something like this. They would certainly have a great time.

I like the whole website especially the pictures from other volunteers. The pre departure was very helpful.

I very much enjoyed working at my placement. People were friendly and I got to learn a lot more about different sort of vaccination and other things.


The highlight of my volunteering trip was my local Host family in Cuzco & Macchu Picchu trip along with my health care placement in Peru.


The meals and accommodation was very good. Host family was wonderful. I felt like I was at home! I would surely recommend Volunteering Solutions to my friends.

Website is very easy to navigate. Easy to find programs & locations. Easy to make payments very good areas to update pre Departure information. The staff was very helpful and helped us out with everything we asked for-ex: Macchu Picchu trip.



I loved my placement very much. The hospital staff was very welcoming. It takes a few days for volunteers to understand & know their job at the hospital but the staff is good at making you feel part of the work. I learned how to vaccinate & check babies&rsquo development history.


The highlight of my volunteering tip is: -


Staying with host family

Volunteering at the hospital

Learning new techniques at work

learning to speak Spanish a little better



The family was extremely nice & I am glad I stayed with a host family while in Peru. It gave me a chance to live how Peruvians do. I would surely recommend Volunteering Solutions to any one.
