I enjoyed doing my project in Lombok as I was able to be immersed into a very different culture then what I am used to. having the villa in the village allowed volunteers to become acquainted with the neighbors and truly experience the kindness of the people around us. If someone is hesitant to join, I would recommend they jump right in, as the support system is incredible, particularly the local team, who despite being complete strangers 2 weeks ago, immediately made me feel welcome and a part of their volunteer family. It can be scary going in not knowing what to expect, but volunteers are truly supported for all their needs.

The program was so much better than I thought it would be and was definitely worth the money. In only two weeks my group became great friends with the local team and lots of the other volunteers. Everything was really well organised which made everything easy for us and we could focus on enjoying every experience and get stuck in with nothing to worry about.

This program helped me getting out of my comfort zone, by solo travelling for the first time, and I got to meet so many new people and had the opportunity to learn so many new things. This is the best experience I've ever had in my life. I had no expectations at all at the beginning, because I knew that it would have been great anyway.
