Volunteerhq Reviews

We could decide how we wanted to shape the lesson and had enough time to prepare The people were very nice and explained everything very well Outside of the program we had a lot of free time and when we needed help with booking transfer etc They were very helpful It was a really impactful and great experience

The place and the company were amazing Muonzberg is a little city next to the ocean with breathtaking landscapes and a lot of activity to do surfing is a must The programs were also great they allow you to understand how the people live and help them The only thing I have to complain about is the safety of the house infact in 4 weeks a thief came in the house twice stealing some volunteers stuff However after all is an experience that I totally recommend even for a solo female traveler like me

First of all all the people are super nice the staff and all the volunteers which makes it easy to meet new friends Volunteering was a whole new experience for me so I can t really compare or anything but I left the place proud of myself for doing it The only thing is sometimes we were too many people at the time and place so we were a bit useless But overall it was an unforgettable trip

My experience in Fiji with IVHQ was very memorable which I ll never forget The people including the staff and children along with the sports and childcare program was excellent The food was sensational and the scenery was amazing I can t wait too go back Sota Tale Fiji

The construction project I worked on is absolutely fabulous So worthwhile Such an enjoyable experience The communication with IVHQ and Maximo is great I had no issues at all except to know where I would be staying at least 2 3 days before arrival would have been nice Staff were helpful and polite

Great location Accommodation very close by and a good clean environment Food was varied and very very good Project was a little disjointed due to the frequent power cuts Spent days cleaning the Turtles and their tanks Clearing litter from the beach mending fences and collecting seaweed Feeding consisted of chopping up fish and feeding that and seaweed to the Turtles Ambalangoda a great location for visiting the coasts areas around the South West of Sri Lanka

Absolutely life changing I was so impressed by the local coordinator they did an unbelievable job The placement was a great stay Nothing special but it was clean and comfortable Volunteering was great The area we were working very much needed help and it felt like we made a significant impact The only issues was the food was a little disappointing It was edible but some meals were very cold and unappetizing I would also not go back as a guy alone I met some great people but there were barely any guys volunteering in my week But overall it was a life changing experience to engage in a new culture and volunteer at the same time

The staff is phenomenal They are not only qualified but also incredibly kind and patient They have created a home-like atmosphere that makes every child feel comfortable and loved My daughter has developed wonderful friendships and looks forward to attending each day The variety of activities they offer is impressive from music and dance to science experiments tailored for little ones I love that they emphasize both education and play striking a perfect balance These gatherings foster a sense of community among parents and caregivers which I find invaluable I am so grateful for the loving environment they ve created I highly recommend this daycare to any parent looking for a safe and enriching space for their child

I recently had the privilege of joining a teaching volunteer program in the Philippines and it was truly a life-changing experience From the moment I arrived I felt warmly welcomed by the local team who went above and beyond to provide support not only for lesson planning but also for cultural immersion and weekend trips to explore the local area Teaching elementary students was both challenging and rewarding The children were eager to learn and full of energy making every moment in the classroom a joy I especially loved the creative freedom I had to design lessons that were engaging and fun The sense of accomplishment I felt when students grasped new concepts was unmatched That said it s important to note that the accommodation is very rural and secluded with not much going on in the immediate area This can be both a blessing and a challenge I recommend bringing a laptop books or card games to keep yourself entertained during downtime Joining in with others and making your own fun can make the experience more enjoyable The program also gave me the opportunity to experience Filipino culture firsthand From practicing Tagalog with the locals to trying traditional dishes and celebrating community events I truly felt immersed in the vibrant culture The kindness and hospitality of the Filipino people made the entire experience unforgettable Overall despite the rural location this volunteer program exceeded all my expectations Not only did it allow me to make a positive impact on the community but it also helped me grow as a person by teaching me resilience adaptability and the value of meaningful connections I highly recommend this program to anyone looking for a fulfilling and enriching volunteer experience

This was my first time in Portugal and I loved it Through this company I was able to meet open minded people willing to serve communities that they aren t apart of I think my favorite part was meeting my local team and seeing how passionate they are to make this world a better place and encouraging others to contribute any type of service that might even seem small but in reality is an essential part into making this world a better place My experience in Portugal included turning recycled plastic into skateboards for kids and Christmas ornaments I ve learned the impact the arts can have on humanity projects like these are able to capture the attention of people and encourage them to help our environment for the better
