“How did you find the pre departure booklet given to you and the service of the staff in regards to answering your questions and helping you prepare? The Pre departure booklet is good. Answering of emails was great. A bit more info about the placements would be helpful. Did you enjoy working at your project / placement? My placement was amazing and I will never forget the lovely kids in the placements. Accommodation and meals Accommodation has been great and everything needed is provided. The meals are lovely too but a change of dinner sometimes would be good as well.

“What areas did you like about our website? Volunteering Solutions has a wonderful website. Great information and lots of pictures. Everyone was very responsive when I had a question. How did you find the pre departure booklet given to you and the service of the staff in regards to answering your questions and helping you prepare? It was excellent and I carried a copy with me on my trip and would refer to it. Did you enjoy working at your project / placement? I was sad to leave on my last day. I grew fond of many of the children. I wished there had been a few more supplies to use. Accommodation and meals Wow ! Wonderful meals and accommodations. Very grateful for the air-conditioning. Coordinators and Staff All the staff were helpful courteous and easy to talk to. Thank you for all your support and guidance. It made this trip of a lifetime for me. What was the highlight of your volunteering experience and your trip? I enjoyed my experience at the center. It has opened my eyes to what real poverty looks like. The children were such a gift. They taught me so much about resilience and what you can do with a few things. The children were joyful and such a pleasure to be around. Would you recommend this program and our organization to others? yes/no YES ! I would like to go to Thailand next summer but only wish that the staff from New Delhi are there too ! Any comments and suggestions I loved all the weekend trips to Taj Mahal as well as Jaipur. Thank you for bringing us on the weekend trips. Every bit of the money I paid for the summer program was well worth it.”

“My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed the program. We had the opportunity to work with street children and also do sight seeing. It was very rewarding teaching and playing with the children whom don't have much but have the biggest hearts. Volunteer Solutions took care of us and answered all our inquiries. They organised tours and made sure we had an enjoyable time. I enjoyed spending time with the children. They were very lovely and gave you all their attention. It was nice teaching them English Maths and General Knowledge and even though they didn't know English that well they listened and learned. Spending time with the children teaching them something new and playing games with them were the highlihgts of my trip. Simply just interacting with them and creating memories with them. I enjoyed learning Hindi with them and teaching them clapping games. I also really enjoyed going to landmarks such as the Taj Mahal and The Lake City Udaipur as I learnt about the history and appreciated the architecture. I really admire the Indian culture and hope more people take the opportunity to experience it as well.”

“Volunteering is a very rewarding option at any time in our lives. Undoubtedly a great experience of life personal and professional growth and enrichment. Far away he would experience such an experience again. My experience in the project was very gratifying since the staff of the hospital in New Delhi was very welcoming to me it was worth it completely very necessary to have a global vision of a country that does not have midwives as professionals for the integral care of the women couples or relatives throughout their life cycle however I would have loved to know the reality of public hospitals since I was in private hospital of Moolchand. Cultural religious interpersonal and professional exchange Personal growth Create opportunity to practice and develop social skills.”

“Excellent experience overall! Was able to learn much about the culture and way of life through volunteering at the preschool in Delhi and a tour of the city's historical highlights. Country co-ordinators were extremely welcoming and friendly and went out of their way to make me feel at home. Team co-ordinators were superb and always went the extra mile to make us feel at home cooking local food and showing us around Delhi. The project was excellent and a very worthwhile experience. Working with the children although tiring as they were always full of energy was extremely rewarding. Working with a bunch of very lively children who were eager to learn and always full of energy was the main highlight! Also the Golden Triangle Weekend Trip was excellent- was able to gain a taste of Indian history and culture and delicious food!”
