Volunteer in Costa Rica
I decided to travel to Costa Rica through Volunteering Solutions to work on my Spanish and it has been such a wonderful experience! During the week I work at a daycare and the staff has welcomed me with such generous hospitality, not only there but also into their homes and families. The kids are so much fun and are always making me laugh! During the weekends I get to travel—I’ve visited volcanoes, mountains, cities, and the beach, as well as tried lots of delicious food! Living with a host family has allowed me to be totally immersed in the language and culture—such a valuable experience for my future career as a Spanish teacher! I can’t believe I only have one week left—gonna miss it lots!

Volunteer in Ghana
Having never been to Africa, and with an abundance of volunteering companies on the market, I was scared to make the jump into this adventure with Volunteering Solutions, but how wrong could I be. The team provided an excellent safety net back at base, and the Chief in Ghana looked after me wonderfully. My experience was incredible, and I urge anyone thinking of coming to Ghana, take the chance, you won't regret it.
Big love!
Big love!

Volunteer in Tanzania
My time in Arusha, Tanzania has been an experience that I did not deserve. If I were to describe my experience in one word, I can say that "amazing" is an understatement. From the first day, I fell in love with the culture and environment in Arusha. I was warmly welcomed by the Matolo family, Mr. Charles, Abraham and felt at home. I was treated as a member of their family. Originally, I was supposed to volunteer in the summer, however, due to the pandemic, I rescheduled for the holidays instead. That was the best decision I've ever made. The atmosphere during the holidays is very lively, warm, and welcoming. I connected with every individual that I've met--from the house staff to my coworkers, and fellow volunteers at St.Elizabeth Catholic Hospital. At the hospital, I volunteered in the surgical ward and there is no word that suffices to demonstrate my experience. I have observed a copious amount of procedures, but my most favorite was a pediatric, orthopedic broken wrist repair. I have made so many connections with the nurses, physicians, and surgeons at the hospital. The staff there are extremely kind and loving. It's beautiful to see every worker working together as a team--which ultimately is the essence of what medicine is. Lastly, though I only stayed in Arusha, I can tell from the snippet of what I've seen, that Tanzania is a beautiful country. The weekends were one of my most favorite parts of my time in Tanzania. I visited the Tarangire National Park, Kikuletwa Hot Springs, the Maasai Village, and many more. I am more than thankful to the Volunteering Solutions team. Mr. Sahil has been more than helpful in assisting me to prepare for my trip to Tanzania. Thank you so much Volunteering Solutions for making this goal of mine an accomplished reality and acquired blessing. God bless!

Volunteer in Kenya - Nairobi
As always, Volunteering Solutions delivered a great deal. I was very impressed with the beyond comfortable living conditions. I was provided two meals each day by the house keeper. All of the meals were western-diet compatible. In addition, the airport transport was provided as promised. Despite my flight being almost two hours late, the airport transporter was there waiting for me, incredible. The host also made great efforts to check the status of my stay and my work. I was very glad to participate in this travel experience.

It was amazing work as a volunteer in South Africa because I could see the Big five of Africa working in a reserve. Amso i could lesrn a lot of things about the wildlife and the plants. Even The staff of the reserve worked with a school where you can go and play with the kids. It was one the best experiencies of my life. I would like to do it again!

Internships in India
I recently attended the medical internship in Delhi, and it was one of the most life changing experiences. Not only did I learn a lot from the hospital but I got to visit so much of India than I expected. Thanks to the help of volunteering solutions, I was able to do the golden triangle tour, in which everything was planned out and I didn't have to worry about a thing. For those who want to attend I would definitely recommend it as Vol Sol did an amazing job of making me feel safe and giving me an amazing experience.

Volunteer in Peru - Cusco
i give 4 stars because the kindergarten i worked in. the family i was with showed direct favoritism for the other volunteer because she had lived in Spain before and that’s where they came from. they didn’t speak to me and when they did i wasn’t expecting them to bc they hadn’t been much so they began to think i knew no spanish at all and made me feel quite dumb. i felt like an unwanted guest and it made my homesickness much worse. the father in the family made the most effort to speak to me and reach out. the food was amazing and they made a great effort to comply with my needs as a vegetarian. overall the experience with the family turned me away from wanting to do another program

Hi Shelby,
Thanks for leaving a review of your experience in Cusco - Peru. We are happy to know that you enjoyed your experience at the project. In regards to your feedback about the host family, we are taking this seriously and are checking with the local team in Cusco about this as well. This is not a regular feedback we receive from the participants about their host family experience. In fact for majority of the participants, their stay with the host family is a major highlight of the trip. We would definitely check with the family on this feedback. Good to know that they made great effort to comply with your dietary requirements as well. We appreciate you taking time out to give us a feedback.
Thanks

My family was absolutely amazing. Gloria was a great cooks, Luis helped with my Spanish, and the kids were so fun. I learned so much in the clinic. I am a pre-med student with intermediate skills and I felt the staff was willing to teach me. I was able to help with paper work (I know, boring but it really helps the busy nurses), give vaccines, vaginal swabs, finger pricks, take blood pressure and weight, etc. Some things seem trivial but the nurses are overwhelmed and yet still find ways to get you hands-on experience. Cusco is an amazing city with lots of beautiful things to see and the people are very nice and welcoming.

Internships in India
I absolutely loved my India medical Internship experience! The local team in Delhi were incredible they were kind, welcoming, warm and I felt really safe. They made sure we saw the best of India! The hospital placement where I worked was within a short drive from the volunteer home. I observed some major surgeries at the OT and also Emergency cases in the Emergency department. India was more than I could have hoped for, it was one of the best experiences of my life! I will definitely return back to India soon to do another trip !!

Volunteer in Ghana
My experience in Ghana was both very hard and very beautiful. The conditions in which they live and, therefore, in which you live are difficult to assimilate at first, but that is also part of the experience and the learning.
On the other hand, all the love and respect of children makes up for everything. His smile when they see you arrive and how happy they are all the time is the most beautiful thing I've ever experienced.
I’ve learned that the one that has the most is not the happiest but the one that needs the less. And in this sense, this is what made me change as a person. Experience takes you away from the “first world problems” and teaches you the value of what really matters in life: basic needs such as food, energy or water. Friendship, family, health and to be happy above all things. It also opens your eyes and teaches you to respect others despite being, thinking and living differently.
The boys of the soccer team pleasantly surprised me. They are very good players! They also have an enviable discipline. They take it very seriously and respect their coaches very much.
Before going forward I thought that maybe they wouldn't listen to me for being a girl. But I was wrong. They listened to me and did perfectly all the exercises I taught them.
Also, the school experience was incredible. There are many girls wanting to learn and overcome. And best of all is the joy with which they receive you, the love they show you and their ability to help you at all times, make you really love them. They are all amazing girls.
