What recent volunteers said about their IVHQ experience

Amanda Carter

I never felt unsafe traveling through Africa. IVHQ takes very good care of you from the moment you exit customs at the airport until they drop you off at the airport.

The work is not as hard or as long as you think. There is plenty of down time for personal enjoyment. The activities you feel are beyond your capabilities can be handled by the staff. There is still so much that you can contribute.

This is a great program for all ages, including seniors and retirees. If you have food concerns, we were served westernized foods: rice, potatoes, broccoli, pork, beef, green peppers. Breakfast is Oatmeal. I suggest brining your own honey, nuts and dried fruits to add to the oatmeal. I'll the food served to us was actually very good and tasty.

Bring good gardening gloves, knee pads and a hat and a helping hands attitude.

As we were so rural, accommodation was rustic. But the staff were amazing in keeping it clean. The only real problem I had was with the flies which were out of their control. Every meal I had was amazing considering we were so far from any village/shop. The cook was brilliant!

Some of the work I was expected to do I found difficult sometimes because of my age. I had a go at everything, but sometimes it was too physical for me. But the local team were amazing, full of encouragement, respect for my age and fitness level, extremely helpful and caring.

Go for it! I’m 73 and have never experienced anything like it. I loved the whole experience which has left me wanting to do more traveling. It’s given my confidence an amazing boost.
