“Hi everyone I just stayed a month in ghana and worked in a Kindergarten, It was a very nice experience and I enjoyed my self. If I could change something it would have been the project because the kindergarten I was working at didn’t really give you the feeling of needing any actual help since they already had enough teachers, equipment and everything. Maybe by working in a poorer project one could have actually helped more. Appart from that everything went well and I would definitely recommend. PS: one month I think was the perfect stay, I would have maybe stayed max. 2 weeks longer but that’s it.”

“t was a wonderful and authentic experience. Volunteering Solutions allowed me to travel while helping people. I spent two weeks in Tanzania volunteering at schools. It was truly absurd to discover how people live there, but it was equally wonderful to meet the locals and be able to do something to help them. The facilities were fine and the managers were friendly. My only criticism is that there are many schools and orphanages in need that are not listed by the association, and if you want to get in touch with them, you have to organise it yourself.”

“My son and I did a medical mission trip to Kenya recently and was very satisfied with the program. The local program director was available if needed. We were hoping to go to one hospital however there was a strike so our director located us to another clinic and hospital. The Physicians and clinicians were very welcoming especially to my son who will be entering medical school. He was able to be very hands on and see how other countries provide medical care. I was also able to go to a local orphanage for a day with the child care volunteers which was very humbling. For the price that we paid I felt the living arrangements were substancial. My son and I chose not to stay together therefore I stayed in a all womens apartment. The other volunteers I stayed with were smart, compassionate and friendly. Although I am much older than them, I really enjoyed their company. The nighttime meal was provided as well as breakfast. It was very easy to get around Nairobi by Uber and I did not feel unsafe at any time”

Hi Cathy, Thank you for your thoughtful 4-star review! We’re so pleased to hear that you and your son had a rewarding experience on your medical mission trip to Kenya. It’s great that our local program director could assist with the change in plans and that you both found such warm hospitality from the medical staff. We're also touched that you had the chance to visit the children's home —it truly embodies the spirit of giving back. Your positive remarks about the accommodations and the camaraderie with fellow volunteers are much appreciated. We’re glad to hear you felt safe and enjoyed navigating Nairobi with ease. Your insights mean a lot to us, and we hope this experience inspires both you and your son in your future endeavors. Looking forward to seeing you again for more enriching experiences!

“Hola! Me llamo Arantxa Rosa, soy brasileña, y tengo 32 años. Participar en el proyecto de voluntariado con niños en Cusco fue una experiencia enriquecedora e inolvidable. Desde el principio, fui recibida con mucho cariño por los niños, que, a pesar de las dificultades de la región, muestran una alegría genuina y contagiosa. Durante todo el tiempo, conté con el apoyo fundamental de Raquel, Jenny y de la familia anfitriona. Fueron muy atentos, presentes en todo momento, y me ayudaron con todo lo que necesité, con paciencia, profesionalismo y sensibilidad. En especial La anfitriona Cintia, su presencia hizo toda la diferencia para que la experiencia fuera positiva. Como sugerencia para el programa, creo que podría haber sido aún más impactante si el proyecto se llevara a cabo en una escuela con niños en situación de mayor vulnerabilidad. Aunque la guardería atiende a una zona humilde de Cusco, sentí que los niños ya contaban con cierto apoyo. Aun así, fue una vivencia valiosa que recomiendo a todos los que desean contribuir con afecto y conciencia, y aprender mucho sobre sí mismos y sobre los demás. Recomiendo esta experiencia a todos los que buscan un voluntariado humano, acogedor y transformador. La agencia Volunteering Solutions fue clave para que todo sucediera de manera organizada y segura. ¡Sin duda lo haría otra vez! ♥️”

“Volunteering solutions was a great company who were able to provide a very interesting experience. At times I felt unsure of what to expect due to lack of information/confirmation, and I think it would have been beneficial to be in contact with someone who had done the same mission that I went on. Overall I found my program very rewarding and am open to doing other programs with volunteering solutions in the future.”

“I joined NGO Support program - Human Rights and Women Empowerment in Morocco. First, thank you for support and kindness and support throughout my project. This was my first time to go to African continent by myself, so I got a bit tense at the beginning. However, not only local kind people but also VolSol nice staffs helped me a lot to have a great time there. I worked for local NGO, it has a significant meaning for me since I want to work in another country in the future. That was exactly what I sought for for a long time. Furthermore, I could have great friends there not only staying at Moroccan traditional house. Our relationship will long last. The weather was all beautiful, I didn't use my umbrella even once. However, there were some things that I wanted you to improve. Regarding the very volunteering, I wanted my boss to do instruction and showed me an over view of their work. I could not figure out what I should do for a few beginning days. And regarding house, there were largely 4 points. One is that there are no windows and 2 out of 6 lights didn't work at first, my room was always dark. And there was no laundry in my Riad, I had to pay extra money for cleaning service. And I could not rock up my room. My room was easy to get in, so I was always worried about my belongings and night. And there were no AC in the room, so I couldn't control the temperature in mornings and evenings. If you are interested in this project, support for local NGO, women empowerment and human rights, you should check your belongings well. There are literally nothing except for bed, toilet, shower, washbasin. Overall, the life there was good and will work well for my future, but I wanted to know the facility before especially for security. I think that this program is worth paying on the whole, since we can connect supporter anytime and have house and meals, and great friends. I recommend you join! but don't forget to prepare well enough.”

“Everything was fine, and I had the most amazing time! I wish communication with Volunteering Solutions were better; there was some misinformation or delay in the answers. It actually was a topic between some volunteers in Tanzania. I only felt safer when I talked to a former volunteer who went to the same program as me. Besides that, the people who hosted me in Arusha were the best, always very sweet and welcoming. I'd love to go back! If anyone would like help before going there on a medical program, I'd be happy to talk to you.”

“As a company, Volunteering Solutions made the booking and organisational process very straightforward and were always quick to reply to any questions I had. Upon arriving in the country that my program was based, they were also keen to stay in touch and followed up with emails to check in on my experience during my first few weeks. My only criticism lies within the programme itself - I volunteered as a pre-nursing student and found that in the hospital I worked in, there was very limited opportunities to learn - largely due to either language barriers (as very rarely did nurses or patients speak any English) or due to an unwillingness to teach. This was particularly frustrating, as even when asking the nursing staff if there was anything I could observe or help with, they would simply say ‘no’ and return to the task at hand. Therefore, I would suggest that the company and their partners in the program’s country are more in-touch and can collaborate to ensure that volunteers are getting the best working experience possible.”

“I had the most amazing, rewarding, and special experience of my life in Ghana with Volunteering Solutions. Emerging into a totally new culture, giving yourself body and soul, learning new things, learning how this culture lives, and living in its day to day life is the most incredible thing in the world! Ghana (specifically Tamale) became my second home, thanks to Fred, his family, the community, and the children at the school and orphanage, who made me feel like I belonged there. I will be eternally grateful for this experience, and I completely recommend it to people looking to have a life changing experience, learn different things, and especially help those in need.”

“It was such a great experience!! I was 16 years old and I felt really safe with all the organization and the friends that I met there. This was. Such a great experience to valorate the tiny things that we already have at home but not everyone can afford. The only thing is the staying. There is not hot water and it’s a little bit far from where you are doing the volunteer specially if your doing the medical part and need to go to the hospital to help. It’s much better if you contact Makimei Children’s Home directly and they can find you a staying maybe closer from the orfanage and with hot water so that you don’t need to do such a long of a drive.”

Hello Jimena, Thank you so much, for your 4-star rating of Volunteering Solutions! We're thrilled to hear that you had such a great experience with us. It's wonderful to know that you felt safe and enjoyed the company of the friends you made during your volunteering trip. We agree that it's important to appreciate the little things we have at home that others may not be able to afford. In regards to the non availability of hot water, we have checked with the coordinator and it must be some minor issue due to which hot water was not available in your showers which could have been rectified if you had informed the coordinator about the issue when at the accommodation. We have now looked into it immediately as well. Once again, thank you for sharing your positive experience and helpful feedback.
