Volunteering Solutions 5 star review on 5th April 2024

"(Eng Below)\r\nITA-L'esperienza con VolSol in Ghana \u00e8 stata incredibile. Ho seguito il programma per 4 settimane presso la scuola delle ragazze. Mi sono affezionata tantissimo a loro e molto \u00e8 stato fatto insieme. Frederick, il buddy, si \u00e8 preso cura di me in tutto e per tutto. Mi sono trovata benissimo con lui e la sua famiglia (con 4 figli). \u00e9 importantissimo lo spirito di adattamento, sia per la mancanza di acqua corrente, sia per le condizioni igieniche (diverse dallo standard occidentale), che per la percezione relativa del tempo (in Ghana il tempo non esiste e non ci sono orologi). Ho trascorso un mese straordinario, conosciuto una cultura totalmente diversa dalla mia, conosciuto persone diventate amiche e aiutato tanto le ragazze della scuola (grazie alle donazioni di una raccolta fondi che ho attivato perla scuola). Ho visitato e aiutato anche presso l'orfanotrofio di Tamale (opzionale). Tamale \u00e8 una citt\u00e0 molto semplice, in rapida crescita e con religione islamica prevalente. I ghanesi sono un popolo estremamente gentile, accogliente e amichevole. Consiglio davvero di andare a Tamale a fare volontariato: ce n'\u00e8 molto bisogno e l'esperienza cambia la vita. Sono tornata in Italia da poco e ho gi\u00e0 voglia di ripartire!\r\n\r\nENG-The experience with VolSol in Ghana was incredible. I followed the program for 4 weeks at the girls' school. I became very fond of them and a lot was done together. Frederick, the buddy, took care of me in every way. I had a great time with him and his family (with 4 children). The spirit of adaptation is very important, both for the lack of running water, for the hygienic conditions (different from Western standards), and for the relative perception of time (in Ghana time does not exist and there are no clocks). I spent an extraordinary month, got to know a culture that was totally different from mine, met people who became friends and helped the girls at school a lot (thanks to donations from a fundraiser that I set up for the school). Tamale is a very simple, rapidly growing city with a prevalent Islamic religion. Ghanaians are an extremely kind, welcoming and friendly people. I really recommend going to Tamale to volunteer: there is a lot of need and the experience is life-changing. I recently returned to Italy and I already want to go again!"

“The Women Empowerment project in Sri Lanka was a really nice experience. The team of volunteering solutions was really helpful and answered all of my questions per mail or per videocall. I would say the required english level was a bit higher than they said, but besides that everything went well.”

“I have participated in the street Children as well Children with special needs program in India. A wonderful and rewarding experience; an unforgettable opportunity helping these children and making a difference in both lives even if it’s for a few weeks. The staff at Volunteering Solutions are amazing, very friendly and supportive in any way possible. I have volunteered in India with Volunteering Solutions a couple of times and will definitely be returning. Hopefully, the organization expands more throughout India, giving volunteers the opportunity to not only have an experience in volunteering but also to explore the wonders of India and its friendly people, Whilst highly recommending Volunteering Solutions, I wish to thank Shankar for his patience and for always looking out for us, as well as to Sahil and Rajiv.

“My experience was rather interesting in Costa Rica. Our host family mother, Barbara, was wonderful. She provided us with information about turtles. However the program in Costa Rica did not match our expectation that we researched from Volunteering Solutions. Barbara mentioned that there is a true disconnect from the program coordinators and the people of Costa Rica. They do not always receive correct information. We did participate in many service tasks, such as cleaning trash, pulling weeds, and helping with the hactuary. Night patrol was honestly very scary and unsafe with poachers approaching many nights. Due to a family emergency back in the states, we had to leave the program early. However even if there was no emergency we did not feel safe staying much longer. We were very disappointed. During the day there was not much work to do and it was very hot. We were told we would be able to swim in the ocean, play games, and interact with fellow volunteers. None of that happened. My friend Kristen and I were the only volunteers. There was another girl who we met but she was part of a different program and was staying for a month. Her expectations were not met either. I would not recommend this program to anyone. I am very disappointed.”

Dear Keara, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback on your experience with Volunteering Solutions in Costa Rica. We appreciate your honesty and value your input. Firstly, we would like to extend our sincere apologies for the disconnect between our program coordinators and the local community in Costa Rica. We truly regret that your expectations were not met and that you did not feel safe staying longer, regardless of the family emergency back home. This is not the experience we want for any of our volunteers. In light of your feedback, we would appreciate it if you could kindly provide us with further details on how we can improve the program in Costa Rica. Your insights are invaluable to us, and we want to make the necessary changes to ensure that future volunteers have a positive and fulfilling experience.

“My husband and I participated in the Childcare and Elephant Volunteering program in India. It was a very rewarding experience and we are so grateful that we had the opportunity to be a part of it. Our program involved visiting volunteering at a childcare centre, as well as a bear and elephant sanctuary. It also included excursions over weekends to see the Taj Mahal in Agra, as well as the sights in Jaipur. Throughout the course of the 2 weeks, we were so well taken care off by the Volunteering Solutions staff. Sahil and Namrata were always responsive to emails prior to our trip. We were picked up from the airport on Day 1 by Shankar, who helped us settle into our accommodation and supported us during our time in New Delhi. All the meals provided by Volunteering Solutions at all the volunteer houses were awesome, and allowed us to eat with other volunteers doing different programs. The volunteering experience was humbling. At the childcare centre, we were uplifted with the smiles of the children who were so eager to see us everyday. A word of advice is to bring in some resources for these kids (for e.g. colouring books, exercise books, picture books, etc.) so that they can be used by them. The bear and elephant sanctuary allowed us to see the good work that locals do to help the animals rehabilitate and feel loved, after having been through abusive situations. We also met volunteers from across the world as part of this trip, and it was very refreshing to meet people who were choosing to spend significant amounts of time to give back. Our tour guides and transportation organized by Volunteering Solutions was top-notch. Everything was so well organized, and our amazing guides really made a difference in our experience. I would highly recommend that you try out a program with Volunteering Solutions at least once. I know that we'll be back for more!”

“I had an amazing and unforgettable experience in Cape Town! Organization was easier than expected and the hostel has a good location. It´s easy to find someone who walks to the supermarket with you or shares an Uber ride to the beach. When you plan your stay you shouldn´t forget about the Uber costs as the project can be quite far away and you will use Uber a lot. Another advice: you won´t need much cash, I paid alomost everything with credit card. I recommend this project 100%!”

Besides, they always answer our particular questions and were willing to help with our specific needs and find a suitable solution.

Fortunately we did not need to use the onsite assistance but we feel that we have the contact information in case it was needed.

“I spent 10 days volunteering in Nairobi, Kenya. We spent our time at Tigoni Level 4 Hospital and have experienced alot in such a short time. I would recommend Volunteering solutions to all medical staff, student nurses, or anyone who just wants to experience a different culture. Our accommodation was okay, comfy beds and the basics that you need, the meals cooked were lovely, and our hosts couldn't do enough for us. We became friends with other volunteers who were housed with us or near us, these people have become friends for life. (A lock on the bathroom door would have been perfect though; marked down a star because 8 people sharing a small bathroom is hard. No body wants to see our friends naked; or not me). I just wished we stayed longer. Looking forward to our next adventure.”

“My time in Arusha, Tanzania has truly been an eye-opening experience. If described in one word, "amazing" is an understatement. From the first day, I fell in love with the culture and environment. I was warmly welcomed by my host family, the Matolos, and felt at home. They treated me as one of their own. I even acquired an international nickname! “Elisa.” Originally, I was supposed to volunteer in the summer; however, due to the pandemic, I rescheduled for the winter holidays instead. That was the best decision ever. The atmosphere during the holidays is very lively, warm, and welcoming. I connected with everyone I encountered, 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 observed copious procedures. “L’union Fait La Force—Unity Makes Strength” is a traditional Haitian motto found on the emblem of our flag. In a Haitian household, children are taught that mountains can be moved with unity. It was not until my experience in Tanzania that I understood the true meaning of this statement. Although under pressure and lacking medical resources, every person in the operating room, in unity, contributed to the well-being and survival of each patient.”
