IVHQ resources were great! Easy to access and use. The local team were so helpful and kind, made me feel comfortable.
At my placement, I feel like I had an impact on the children and the daycare and I know for sure they had a massive impact on me.
My accommodation was amazing and much better than I thought. Loved every aspect of it.
If you don't do it, I promise you'll be regretting it for the rest of your life. A trip of a lifetime!
I would say this was the best experience of my life. It changed me and made me a better person. I wish I could have helped more. And specifically about the childcare program, I went with the idea that I was going to help the children and make them happier, but they made me so much happier than I could ever make them.
This is a great program! Everyone is so kind and caring. The volunteer work is meaningful and flexible to fit your goals.
It truly is a life changing experience. I learnt so much about myself. This program connects you with people all around the world, and let you immerse yourself into different cultures. I never felt unsafe.
It’s such a unique trip that I will remember forever. Thank you to the amazing team!
