“I found Volunteering Solutions to be everything I would hope for them to be. They were helpful respectful of my age in the request for a private room for my friend and I and generally a well rounded Introduction to the wonderful culture of India. Our Co-ordinator was extremely helpful and would go out of his way to assist us in our translation of Hindi to English. He was always professional caring and Interested in how we were getting along. He was always quick to assist if we required anything also. I ended up teaching children English which I wasn't expecting to do nevertheless I found it to be extremely rewarding and loved every minute of it. Meeting and teaching the children and Student teachers which we were able to assist as well.”

“My overall experience on my trip to Kerala is very good. The people we met were very friendly and helpful our trips to different things in the country were amazing and the project was good. We were safe all the time and got the help we needed. I only have good memories from the trip!! Local country coordinator was very Friendly and Supportive. It was very comfortable and homely stay with all the facilities that I could have asked for.It was a really beutiful place and it was amazing to have WIFI and clean water. The food was good and wasn't too spicy. I enjoyed the project - the school for diasable people - very much. I had the feeling. that I made a difference and that we were welcomed. It was great to be a part of it just like the others who were there normally. The highlights for me on this program that we were on a trip to a fun-park in Kochi Lullu Mall. It was great fun for us and for the children!”

“I like everything about the website it’s complete with all the information I need. Pre -departure booklet help me to prepare my class and myself. I really love my project the kids and teachers are awesome. Accommodation and meals were excellent. Everybody in the staff team is good and kind. Being with the kids helping them are the highlights of my volunteering experience. I think I learn more from them than them from me this is the best experience I had ever have. I have also shared a detailed blog about my journey in India which was posted in two languages Spanish and English hope you enjoy reading it and share your views. I will definitely recommend this program and I am so glad I volunteered with Volunteering Solutions. See you soon! Watch my video here – The journey full of Joy”

“I thought it was a good balance of travel and volunteer. I liked staying in the volunteer houses it made it easy to get to know everyone interacting with volunteers from different parts of the world is fun and the meals were good. Our orientation session also rent very well that was really fun but kind of a lot to do in one day I find it a little tiring. If I have to list 5 of my best moments from the entire trip it is - 1 – Volunteer with Street Children in Delhi 2 – Painting students classrooms in primary schools in Palampur 3 – Working at the Elephant Camp 4 – Our Taj Mahal tour was great fun 5 – And also the night outs with the whole group. VolSol in-country staff were great very helpful and kind. I really enjoyed this program.”

“I enjoyed all the cities we stayed in very much. Maybe spread out the visits to the temples a bit more. The accommodation was really nice and clean and the hotels in the last week were amazing. Maybe a bit more variety in the meals in Palampur is a little change that can be done. The Orientation Session was informative and well set out. I really enjoyed my time on this trip whether it's volunteering with children in Delhi or working at the elephant village in Jaipur. I loved that we got the opportunity of painting the classrooms in Palampur the time I spent with the group our night outs and Taj Mahal is worth the whole trip. The Local staff were all very approachable and welcoming and were experienced and knew a lot about the cities and were always helpful. I definitely recommend this program.”

“I am really thankful for all the help we or our employment visa. I really liked the traditional welcome and goodbye. The kids were lovely and wanted to learn more however I expected them to be more grateful if they got something (f.e. balloons colors). The accommodation is basic but good ( I especially liked Rajiv and his wife who I respect for doing this volunteering all year round. When I needed medicines within half an hour I got them thanks to all the help I got! My favorite moments are visiting the Taj Mahal and when the kids take us into the slum to show their houses. I recommend this program as I learned so much about Indian culture and lifestyle. I think we can learn a lot about Hinduism even though we are people with a different religion we are still friendly welcomed in all the temples to join the ceremony (f.e. Iskcon). I appreciate this!”

“The Camp India website was good showed clear itinerary and what was included in the price. The pre-departure booklet was useful but could have included more info on the placement. I enjoyed my placement but it was pretty hard work especially the language barrier. The accommodation was good but basic a sofa would be nice. The food was very good and very nice hotels. The in-country staff was very nice and helpful and really looked after you. The highlight of my experience was meeting new friends and seeing new things. Especially liked the light and fountain show and Chokhi Dhani village person and elephants.”

“I enjoyed my placement a lot. I spent the best 4 weeks here that I could have wished for. At my placement the kids were always happy to see me and wanted to learn something. Teaching them was so much fun. Our accommodation feels like home. There is nothing to complain. Our rooms are nice and the flat is clean. The food is so good! Thanks to Shankar and Ramesh for cooking a delicious meal every day. My whole stay was organised very well. If I had any questions I received help. I think the website is very good. It is informative and easy to understand. I had no problems while I was using the website. So for me there is nothing to improve as it is already very good. I am glad I had a pre-departure booklet. I felt more secure with it and could prepare myself for this adventure. I had some problems with getting my VISA and the staff helped me a lot with this problem instantly. The whole trip was a highlight! I love the kids at my placement and I will miss them a lot. Same for the other volunteers - it is great to get to know so many people from all over the world. Even if we know each other only for some days or weeks it feels like we have been friends for ages. I will definitely recommend this program. Keep doing this! It is awesome. I will definitely do a volunteering trip like this again. Thanks for everything!”
