"I joined NGO Support program - Human Rights and Women Empowerment in Morocco. \r\nFirst, 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.\r\nHowever, 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. \r\nAnd 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. \r\nIf 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.\r\nOverall, 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.\r\nI recommend you join! but don't forget to prepare well enough."

“Ciao sono stata un mese a Zanzibar, a casa tutto bene la famiglia di francis è fantastica. Il problema è stato in ospedale, eravamo troppi volontari e la dottoressa che ci divideva per i reparti ci mandava in gruppo da 5-6 per reparti in cui c’erano solo 1/2 pazienti o in cui non c’era niente da fare. Il personale dei diversi reparti si vedeva chiaramente che non ci voleva intorno e che noi eravamo di troppo per cui dovreste secondo me avere più comunicazione con la signora che decide dove mandarci perché ci avete fatto spendere soldi inutilmente, io non sono venuta a Zanzibar per fare una vacanza ma per dare il mio aiuto come infermiera. Fortunatamente ho cambiato reparto e molte cose sono migliorate ho legato grandi amicizie con alcune infermiere. Quando sono andata dalla dottoressa in ufficio per chiederle di farmi un certificato lei mi ha detto che io non sarei potuta stare lì più di 28 giorni ma io le ho spiegato che con voi ho pagato per starci 30 giorni, lei in modo scocciato e scorbutico mi ha detto che avrei dovuto pagare per rimanere lì altri due giorni ma ci rendiamo conto ?? Non ci prendete in giro, io avevo già pagato voi e di pagare quest’ospedale che cade a pezzi per starci due giorni in più assolutamente no! Per 30 giorni ho speso più di 1400€ per cosa? Apparte la casa ma vicino a dove alloggiavamo non c’era assolutamente nulla, un bar un ristorante, nulla. Bisognava sempre spostarsi con il taxi per andare in spiaggia quindi ogni giorno avremmo dovuto spendere un sacco di soldi. Non c’è nessun tipo di comfort nella zona in cui stavamo per cui dovreste abbassare il prezzo, io la consiglio come esperienza ma non in quell’ospedale e non a quel prezzo.”

Dear Sara, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback about your experience with Volunteering Solutions. We truly appreciate your kind words and are thrilled to hear that you had a positive experience with us. Here at Volunteering Solutions, our top priority is ensuring customer satisfaction and providing a seamless volunteering journey. In regards to the hospital placement, you were placed at the largest public hospital placement at Zanzibar and the hospital does receive many students for internships and electives. Glad to know that you were able to change the department and things worked out fine. Before arrival of participants we need to send your documents and have you registered at the hospital, which in your case was for 4 weeks i.e 28 day period. You had chosen to arrive 2 days early in the program which included just extra nights accommodation and you could not start your placement early. Once again, thank you for your valuable feedback. We are grateful to have amazing volunteers like you who contribute to making a difference in the lives of others. Warm regards, Team Volunteering Solutions

“I had an incredible experience volunteering with Volunteer Solutions in Rabat, Morocco. The opportunity to work in both a school and an eye hospital was truly enriching. At the school, I connected with enthusiastic students and saw firsthand the impact education has in shaping young minds. The eye hospital was equally fulfilling, offering a chance to be part of a compassionate team and contribute to improving patients' vision and lives. The program was well-organized, and the staff provided excellent support throughout. I also had the chance to meet other like-minded volunteers from around the world, forming meaningful connections and friendships that will last a lifetime. Morocco itself is a beautiful country, rich in culture, and the experience of living in Rabat allowed me to immerse myself in the local community and traditions. I highly recommend Volunteer Solutions for anyone seeking an authentic, hands-on volunteering experience that allows you to give back while also gaining valuable skills and lifelong memories. Whether in education, healthcare, or any other field, the connections and insights I gained in Morocco were priceless, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to have been part of such a transformative journey.”

“it was certainly one of the most beautiful and enriching experiences of my life. The volunteer camp in gladstone is beautiful, with many animals and many people who put their hearts into what they do. The only flaw to take into consideration is that there is the possibility that there will be no other volunteers. In September when I went there were only three of us and for the following weeks there would be no one. Despite this, I would like to recommend it to all those who love animals and want to live a unique experience”

“Hi! My name is Malaika, and this was my 2nd time volunteering with Volunteering soloutions. I chose the children’s teaching program placed in Unawatuna, Sri Lanka. I was there for a week, and I must say it was the best time! The program itself was amazing. The children are so gifted and bright and always so eager to learn. Helping them with their work was so rewarding and I had so much of fun playing various games with them, singing together and of course learning. Transport, meals and everything in between was very well organised and exceeded my expectations. Our transport was always on time and was very efficient. The coordinators and staff did a great job at always keeping us informed on any changes in plans and we’re always there for any assistance needed. The program also offered fun activities during free time such as, a bicycle tour, city tour and rooftop yoga. All these activities as well were very well organized and a nice addition to the overall experience. We also had weekly evaluation meetings which I thought was very beneficial and helpful. All in all, this is my second time around having had a great experience with volunteering soloutions. They have always been very helpful and quick to assist me with any questions or doubts I may have had and I couldn’t recommend them enough! Especially for solo travellers, everything is looked after and it’ll be a safe and unforgettable trip!”

“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.”
