Overall an incredible program. My host family and the team on site made the trip. However, there is serious space for Volunteering Solutions to step up their communication game, giving more details and more resources. The majority of the details were figured out by me or as it was happening. I also suggest that you speak good spanish for this trip and that you have a good understanding and background with children.

As a life experience was so fruitful and enriching. The fact that there was no other volunteering was bad luck and I spent many hours on my own since there was not much to do and I depended all the time of a coordinator's friend who took me everywhere. It ment that I had to pay for his food, his petrol and everything. Also, despite you said that the 100eu for the coordinator to come to Accra to pick me up included everything, that was not the case, I had to pay for the hotel myself. Besides, the amount I had to pay for the air-condinioning was extremely a lot and even I was asked to pay for the coordinator's petrol. That's why I spent twice as much as the budget you mention in the predeparture booklet information. The feeling I had was that as I was taken as a "walking dollar" as it was not a nice feeling at all. I undestand that for them I was a walking dollar, but..... to a certain extent. Lastly and also important, I can undestand that the coordinator had other things to do, but I felt a bit forgotten from his side. That's why, despite my days in Tamale were unforgettable, I thinl that some things could be improved and more "ethic"

Everything was okay, it is a trustable organisation and they do a good labour. However I considered the price too high. I expected more attention or guidance by the organisation. You have to go to your place of volunteer everyday alone and do whatever you want with the kids. I would have liked a bit more guidance on what they need and how can be most helpful. There were also fewer volunteers than I expected, just four more people. I went with a friend and it was a very good experience but honestly I believe that you can find other options much cheaper or free with the same “commodities”.

I have the most positive impressions from the program in Uganda. As a mature volunteer in my first trip in SubSaharan Africa, I was a bit concerned beforehand,but I felt totally supported and safe throughout my journey, both through the Volunteering Solutions Operations Office and the local team. The local coordinators were amazing, completely dedicated to what they do.The work was fulfilling, varied, and flexible. I learnt a lot, both through the voluntary projects, our conversations with the local coordinator and the sightseeings. I definitely recommend this program to any volunteers who wish to contribute to some of the most vulnerable communities,in a location that's off the beaten track.

The organization of volunteering solutions was great! I did’t have a single problem. The only thing that was a bit surprising (not in a bad way) was the project itself, which could be described more clearly, but I still loved it and would definitely recommend :D

Excelente experiencia ! Todo desde el principio fue fantástico . Además de todo lo que aprendimos , las actividades que tuvimos y la gente maravillosa que conocimos nos quedamos con muchas ganas de quedarnos más tiempo ! Creemos que es una experiencia por la que todos deberíamos pasar en algún momento sea el tipo de trabajo que sea. En nuestro caso fue con las tortugas y lo volveremos a repetir sin duda !

The Volunteer in India program was an amazing opportunity to visit India and like-minded people locally, and from all over the world. VolSol Team India, especially Shankar and Sahil, was incredibly helpful with airport transfers at 2am (Shankar) and with organizing tours with local companies.
Volunteer safety was a priority and at no point did I feel vulnerable, helpless or alone. All the people we met were friendly, welcoming, hospitable and considerate to foreigners. I would recommend VolSol to anyone wanting to combine Volunteer work with some sightseeing.

Volunteer in Ireland
I worked as a Volunteer in Ireland (Castleisland) at the Presentation Primary School as a teaching assistance. I chose VolSol because they are one of the few organisations that made it possible for me to only volunteer for 3 weeks AND as a teaching assistance at a school in Ireland.
I had an exciting and great time and would immediately do it again!
I always felt supported by VolunteeringSolutions and even though I only applied a few weeks before I wanted to go there, they made it possible for me.
The only reason why one star is missing, is because I think, that it is a lot of money, that you need to spend in order to go there...
But I loved it and would recommend VolSol to anyone who is ready for an adventure and for making a difference in the world by volunteering, meeting great people, new cultures and beautiful places.

EnriquezArte is a very diverse space where you share your knowledge, your culture, your projects, your gastronomy, and much more, and therefore you also receive and learn everything that derives from the above. For me it has been like my traveling home, where I live with people from all over the world, and therefore I am enriched every day to share lunch, to develop a project, to go for a walk, to attend a workshop and many more moments.
I love it because you also learn to "relearn", to overcome your fears, to take risks, to accept your mistake or error, and therefore not to judge or feel judged, such as climbing classes, community building activities, English classes, yoga and much more.
As a native Spanish speaker, I shared my knowledge by teaching Spanish classes, so I also strengthened my English and learned other languages.
