Habia realizado varios voluntariados antes pero este ha superado desde mucho todo lo que yo habia experienciado antes ! Me han enseñado un motón de cosas que me ayudaran toda la vida. Ahora me siento mucho mas en confianza en todo lo que hago y más que todo, me siento feliz al día día ! Muchas gracias enriquezArte por existir...

What an incredible experience was given to be lived with enriquezArte, I have learnt more in 3 months there than in 3 years at university !
Lucky you if you have the chance to live it ! I will come back for sure !

From the beginning to the end of my stay it has been a transforming and enriching experience where you can meet people from all over the world while doing social work. I took with me many friends that will last a lifetime as well as the memories we shared.
I did all kinds of workshops and events that made my stay an adventure and an incredible and unforgettable time!
They have volunteers that make a delicious meal every day!!!
The tasks and responsibilities are challenging but help you grow as a person and as a better professional.

My experience in the NGO enriquezArte, was definitely a shortcut in my personal and professional development! I have learnt so many things in a little time ! Their pedagogy is very efficient and original if you are ready to grow !

We had such an amazing time! The people were fantastic and very accommodating. We got to volunteer at a local hospital as well as a clinic where we were able to help the community by providing a free medical screening which was very rewarding. We met some of the nicest people and were able to experience the culture and have lots of adventures. I would absolutely recommend!

It's been a wonderful two weeks and I encourage everyone to do the same. Being so close to wild animals and learning a little about their habits and biology was very enriching. Participating in daily activities makes us understand what the routine is like in an animal reserve. AMAZING TIMES!! Tks a lot for @volunteeringsolutions to make my dream come true!

Had a great time. Would definitely return.

I was planning for some time to fit an overseas volunteer trip during my sabbatical leave period over the last quarter of 2022 and came across Volunteer Solutions, an organization that undertake projects around the world including English teaching programs.

After browsing through the many programs and destinations, I eventually chose to go to Tianyar for one full month in Bali to teach English to children with basic to no level of proficiency on the language. The accommodation and meals will be provided for in Tianyar with the school just a three-minute walk away.

Tianyar is a small coastal village which is three hours from Denpasar and away from the bright lights and night life of some their more illustrious neighbors Kuta and Seminyak. It is extremely quiet, and volunteers get to stay in ecological attap houses with bathroom that are outdoors. The sea is also across the lodging area. Amenities are quite modest, and you get to experience the following in the village;

- No air-conditioning
- No hot water for shower
- Intermittent wi-fi connection
- Water supply gets cut certain times of the day
- Sharing a bunk with three other guys in double decker beds

Not for a moment did I miss any of the comforts because in replacement, I got;

- The sound of the waves when I wake up in the morning
- The wonderful sunrise in from my lodging area
- The smell of the sea breeze all day
- Fresh and varied food cooked by a brilliant chef we call “Ibu”
- A chance to follow the fishermen to sea
- Interact with different volunteers from different background, mostly Europe
- Throwback to memories of camping trips in the rural outdoors

Most importantly, I got to teach these students at this school Yayasan Widya Sari who otherwise will not be able to afford an education in English. These students come with so much enthusiasm after their own school day to learn the subject and as a volunteer teaching them English, I made an extra effort to come up with lesson plans as well as activities to engage and impart basic English to my two classes of between 9-11 year olds.

Other than that I also got to immersing myself in the Balinese culture which is a different form of Hinduism and even taking time to dress up in a full Balinese ceremonial costume with accessories. I managed to also take lull time to get my PADI certification and dived at the sea in Tianyar in clear waters to see the marine life as well as the nearby Tulambeng to see the World War 2 shipwreck.

My purpose from this experience was to extend service to the less privileged which is more a duty call than being optional or done at one’s convenience. I believe that I made a positive difference to the lives of the students that I taught.

My sincere thanks and appreciation to the Volunteer Solutions team including Sahil Sabharwal whom I corresponded with and made my journey to Tianyar from Singapore a seamless one.

Look forward to my next volunteer trip with Volunteer Solutions.

Very nice experience in India with the children, but always with the members of this organisation and the volunteers. The director is very professional and keep care of the volunteers (some visits in the volunteer’s house). Sahil, the head of the organisation, booked very well some trips in others cities in India during the weekend. And finally, Shankar, an exceptional person, he is always in the house for help volunteers, he cooks very well, he always find solutions if a volunteer have a problem, very nice person. If you have the chance to do this experience, go for it !

it was truly the best time of my life, nice people, perfect place in Unawatuna. it was well organized and people in ashaa house where the absolute best.

It was such an amazing time. Time was running so fast and I couldn’t believe it was over so fast!

It was my first time traveling to Kenya and I loved it! Would come back without any hesitation.

Great experience, felt well looked after by Volunteering Solutions team. Incredible time in Kenya.

Llegar e instalarme en Sri Lanka fue muy fácil gracias al personal de la Aasha House. Me recogieron en el aeropuerto tal y como indicabais en el programa y después de esperar un tiempo a que llegaran unos compañeros nos dirigimos a Galle. Una vez allí nos enseñaron la casa, nuestras habitaciones y nos explicaron las normas de la casa y nos dieron algunas indicaciones sobre el barrio donde estábamos para poder movernos por allí. Aasha House está equipada con todo lo necesario, en mi caso dormía en una habitación grande con 3 literas (éramos 6 chicas) y compartíamos un baño. Dentro de la habitación había ventiladores y unas estanterías para poder dejar nuestro equipaje.

En cuanto al Staff, todo el mundo es súper amable, siempre dispuesto a ayudar con lo que necesites y preocupados por tu bienestar. Semanalmente tiene lugar una reunión con todos los voluntarios y el staff para saber cómo nos encontramos, y si tenemos propuestas o sugerencias para algún aspecto de la casa o convivencia. Además a lo largo de la semana/mes van proponiendo actividades para que nos apuntemos y podamos conocer mejor la zona, la cultura o incluso se realizan excursiones por el país (Falik es genial!). Otro aspecto que me gustaría incluir es la comida. En Aasha House cocinan muy bien, es todo comida local pero se adaptan a los extranjeros, de manera que no cocinan muy picante para los que no estamos acostumbrados a ello.

En cuanto a las tareas como voluntaria, me siento muy afortunada de haber podido trabajar y realizar todas las actividades en las que he participado. Dentro del criadero he podido dar de comer a las tortugas, limpiar los tanques donde viven, enterrar huevos y mi actividad favorita: patrullar la playa por la noche buscando tortugas que hayan salido a dejar huevos para poder rescatarlos y llevarlos al criadero. Algunas de estas tareas requerían cierto trabajo físico, y el staff en todo momento estaba atento a si necesitábamos algo, nos daban descansos durante las actividades y nos han cuidado mucho. Charith y Manjula han sido con los que más he coincidido y nos han enseñado muchas cosas de las tortugas, para poder cuidarlas y trabajar con ellas mejor. Además hemos tenido la oportunidad de poder realizar actividades conjuntamente con el proyecto de “Environment”, incluyendo actividades como plantar árboles o coral en la playa. Nuestra manager del proyecto es Viduni y ha sido sin duda una líder inmejorable, muy amable y atenta. Semanalmente manteníamos reuniones con ella para saber qué tal encontrábamos las actividades y si también teníamos alguna sugerencia o necesitábamos algo.

Finalmente quería daros las gracias a Volunteering Solutions por acercarme a este proyecto y permitirme formar parte de esta labor tan necesaria para poder aportar mi granito de arena en la mejora de nuestro planeta. Sin duda repetiré en el futuro y voy a recomendarlo a todo el que me pregunte.

I had a great time in Sri Lanka and teaching Buddhist monks was a really wonderful experience. The coordinators helped me with everything I needed. Totally recommend!

I recently completed a Medical Internship trip to Nepal with Volunteering Solutions and it was an exceptional experience. The organization was well-organized and provided excellent support throughout my journey. From the moment I arrived in Nepal, I felt welcomed and taken care of.

The medical internship program was truly eye-opening and gave me the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in a developing country. I was able to work alongside local healthcare professionals and assist in providing care to those in need. The medical facilities and staff were top-notch, and I was able to learn so much from my time there.

In addition to the medical work, I was able to experience the rich culture and history of Nepal. The team at Volunteering Solutions made sure I had the opportunity to visit local markets, temples, and take part in unique cultural activities. I was also able to make new friends from all over the world and build lasting relationships with the local community.

Overall, I would highly recommend Volunteering Solutions to anyone looking for a meaningful and impactful medical internship experience in Nepal. The team at Volunteering Solutions is knowledgeable, friendly, and always went above and beyond to make sure my trip was unforgettable. I left Nepal with a wealth of knowledge and memories that will last a lifetime.

It was an amazing experience : The connection with Nature and the locals, the tasks associated with preserving the beach, helping the hatching of the baby turtles and protecting mother turtles laying their eggs on the beach.
Not only will you experience sea life through volunteering work but you will encounter many other wildlife animals (Monkeys, sloths, snakes, Caimans, birds, butterflies, bats...).
I will highly recommend this program for any nature lover who wants to contribute to preservation.

The host family takes me to a lot of occasions and I learned a lot about local cultures
However, about the charging it is not transparent enough. I have paid almost 200 Euro extra than expected, including the electricity for a/c, the double charging of the hotel fees in Accra….

I have wonderful and memorable experience in Nepal. Thank you so much!
