Volunteering in Madagascar was the best experience I ever had. It had a strong impact on me and really changed me, I would strongly recommend everyone to go there.

Overall, I felt very well prepared before starting my trip. I felt very well supported throughout the duration of my volunteer experience by the local team. What a great group of hard working individuals! I continue to reflect on the level of eagerness and interest demonstrated by the students, children, teens and adults. Children attended the classes despite being on school break! My favourite moment was hearing students call out my name while walking about in the village following my volunteer teaching experience. I couldn't believe they remembered my name. This trip generated a renewed sense of gratitude for all things available to me at home. If you are thinking about volunteering, go for it! You won't regret it and will only grow from the experience.

I had zero travel experience before deciding to volunteer in Madagascar, and even with that I had one of the most amazing experiences of my life. There was never a time where I felt unsafe or scared. On weekends, we had the opportunity to see and do so many amazing things. My projects were worthwhile and meaningful to the community. Also, I met some amazing people that I can now consider lifelong friends. This experience was worth everything and more.

The best part about joining the Fiji program was being in the community with the locals and playing sport with people my age was beyond amazing. My advice is just do it. A once in a life time opportunity and you will regret it if you don’t.

My highlight from the volunteer experience was swimming at the beach with all the kids. The biggest impact my volunteering trip had on me was seeing how grateful and happy all the kids and people in Fiji are all the time even though they don’t have much makes me realise how much we take for granted. My advice is just do it it’s a lifetime experience you’ll never forgot and you’ll want to do it again .

Getting to know and helping the community, as well as experiencing such a unique culture I'd never before seen was my favourite moment. The program had the biggest impact on my view on the world, and just how different some places can be. My advice is definitely volunteer, since you're helping people who need it most, and it's an overall great experience.

Volunteering for 2 weeks in Palawan was definitely a decision well made. The people I met and the knowledge I acquired from the environmental program will come along with me. I will also cherish the quiet moments, conversations and karaoke nights for as long as I live. This is a great place to humble yourself and to serve others in whatever way you can. Maraming salamat po!

I loved the family feel with all the local team coordinators as I felt safe, heard, and accommodated for. My favorite moment from the volunteer experience was interacting with the children and teachers.
