The pictures on website were amazing and being able to contact other volunteers who have done this before was also nice. I found pre departure booklet very easy to use and the staff being very cooperative and helpful towards me.

I loved working at my placement because the children were very kind to me and didn&rsquo t give me any problems. The teachers I worked with were very kind and welcomed me as one of their own. I watched the kids and helped the teachers with anything they needed help on. I would help the kids with puzzles or help them do any daily projects.

The highlight of my trip was when I went to Machu Picchu for the day and explored this wonderful area. I never have seen anything so beautiful in my life. I have seen many pictures of it before but it was nothing when you are standing in the middle of it.

Accommodation and meals both were nice and the coordinator were helpful too.

Yes I would surely recommend Volunteering Solutions because it is an experience that no one will ever forget and it will give you a better understanding of how other people in the world live. You get a better understanding of yourself and what really matters in your life.

I enjoy reading others experience and the vast amount on information available on website. The pre departure booklet was very thorough and help prepare me and answer any question that I may have and ones I didn' t think of.

Overall I enjoy working with the children. It is in an excellent location. The children are very lovable and it was great to work with them. The highlight of my trip would surely be the children at the childcare program. The trips to Taj Mahal and Dharamsala.

I don' t have anything bad to say about my accommodation provided by VS while I was in India. The food was as if I was in a 5-Star hotel. The family made me feel like a part of family. The coordinators were very supportive and always there to help us anytime.

I would surely recommend Volunteering Solutions with no hesitation.

I like the VS website as there is lots of information available on all of the programs which your offer. I also really like the " My Account" section. It is very personalized and has lots of reminders. The pre departure booklet is a great idea. I found it very useful with a lot of handy tips. Sahil was very efficient in answering any queries that I put forward. Thank You!

I very much enjoyed working at my placement. Staff at the placement was very helpful and taught a lot of stuff. The placement provided with lots of hands on experience. The highlight of my volunteering trip was working at clinic and obtaining tremendous amount of hands on experience along with visiting the orphanage giraffe center and meeting other volunteers from all over the globe.

Accommodation was clean and if anything needed to be fixed it was done immediately. Meals cooked by Mercy were amazing. They were healthy and delicious.
