“I liked that all the information regarding each placement was all on one page of the website and organized in a logical manner. It’s also good that there were pictures and videos of the placement and feedback from other volunteers. The pre– departure booklet contained a lot of helpful and useful information. I enjoyed all of my placements: Rotary women &amp childcare hospital Karan Hospital &amp Dr. Kalyan Walk in Clinic. I learned different things at each of them. My favorite in terms of learning the most was with Dr. Kalyan. He always tries to involve the volunteers in some way and is constantly teaching even while seeing many patients. The accommodation are very nice. A lot of work has been put into making them welcoming and comfortable and clean. The meals are always delicious and filling. About the In–country Staff I don’t know Amit very well but he was always very organized and professional. Bobby was Amazing. He is very caring and always trying to make sure everyone is happy healthy and safe. He would go out of his way to ensure you have a wonderful experience and make you want to come back. It’s hard to say only one thing as highlight of my trip since I have been here a month and seen so many things. I mean trekking to Tirund driving to Manali and sightseeing in Kangra were awesome. If I have to choose it would probably be what I came here for: being able to observe surgeries live in the OT (Operation Theatre). I would definitely recommend it I have had a great experience. Only that I wish I was staying longer!”

“I like personal Profile and different programs on the website but would like to see more pictures and of programs. The pre-departure booklet was very handy. It was nice to know what were going to before arriving. We have enjoyed a lot working in the Arya Samaj Charitable centre and we liked it a lot. Meals were good very tasty although we ate nice for almost everyday. Accommodation was very good the beds were good and the room was cold thanks to A/C. In-country coordinator Shankar and Ramesh was always very helpful and willing to make us feel at home. They are great! and I am going to miss them. The most important thing we have learned a new culture entirely different that owns and that has been really interesting to know!”

“I liked that there was a personal profile on the website which gave a lot of facilities. I enjoyed a lot and the people were very cheerful and friendly and had a great time with the people in the medical clinic. Everything was very clean and the food was good. In-country coordinator Shankar and his nephew were fantastic and always ready to help. I am also very proud of Dheeraj who was a fantastic guide. To know an absolutely new and different culture is the highlight of my whole volunteer trip.”

“I like all the programs that you have on the website its very easy to join and I would like to see more photos of the program. The pre– departure booklet was very good and useful and everybody in the staff answers very fast to the emails. I enjoyed my placement a lot but I did not feel very needed because they were prepared for everything. But everyone was very nice and I enjoyed working there. Meals were very good and very tasty. The accommodation was good only the water of the shower is very cold. In country coordinator Shankar and his nephew Ramesh are very nice people. Always smiling and help us. The most Important thing that we have learned another culture different than our own.”

“I Liked the color scheme of the website and it was pretty easy to use. Lots of useful information. The pre– departure booklet was very useful it basically answered all the questionsI had! My sisters emailed back and forth and we got lots of information very quickly. I absolutely loved my placement. Don’t want to leave because of the boys. They were so sweet and polite and hilarious and we had the best time with them. Accommodation and meals both were good. Priya showed us how to make Aloo-poori today we should definitely put cooking down as an activity to do so interesting! Thank you! In-country coordinator and staff were helpful with tourist information where to go how best to get there etc. Staff always very smiley and interested in how we were spending our days. I have enjoyed every aspect! Meeting and spending so much time with the boys at Jamghat meeting all the other volunteer sightseeing everything the food. A fantastic opportunity to work with disadvantaged children in an amazing country. Loved the Golden Triangle Tour. So much crammed in but i was all amazing. Jeeevan our drivers was so kind he made it even better.”

“The website had lots of helpful information and was relatively easy to use. The staff support was excellent. I had lots of contact with Aparna Sharma who was brilliant always quick to reply and very helpful. Vasundhara Gupta was also very helpful. Thank you! It was a fantastic placement. The boys at Jamghat were wonderful very polite accommodating welcoming and fun to be around! I will miss them all very much. We did not know what we were supposed to do but we did our best and it turned out very well! Accommodation and meals were good. Priya was very kind she showed us how to make Aloo Poori. I think many volunteers would be interested in traditional Indian cooking classes. Mr. Rajiv Kumar Sabharwal was very helpful. Mr. Dheeraj Kumar was very kind and helpful immediately sorting out any issue we had! Our driver for the Golden Triangle Trip Jeevan was fantastic always on time very friendly. Thank You I have loved it all. It was great meeting other volunteers and seeing the many interesting sights that Delhi has to Offer. Also I really enjoyed our time at Jamghat with the boys. We had a really good time with Volunteering Solutions and definitely want to visit India again.”

“I liked the whole website. It was very easy to navigate and clearly laid out. I thought that pre-departure booklet was very good and helped me a lot before I departed on my travels. I thought that the trek wasn't really explained that well as it was a lot more strenuous than explained in the booklet. I thought that staff was extremely helpful in answering all our questions and we're always there whenever we needed any help at all for anything. I loved working at the placement in Delhi it really gave an insight to the daily lives of the children that came to the school and their living conditions were also shown to us well. The project at the elephant village in Jaipur was amazing I loved every second of that especially getting to climb up the elephant and washing the elephants. I feel as though the whole experience was an Eye opener. My efforts were Definitely appreciated and I would definitely recommend it to my friends. I found the accommodation really homelike it was professionally organised and laid out in all the places my favourite was the hotel in Jaipur. The meals were good but I felt as though they were quite repetitive. In-country staff was amazing Rajiv was really good. He explained everything really well and was very hospitalising. The highlight of my trip was working with the children in Delhi and the elephant village in Jaipur. Also the trekking as it helped me overcome my fear of heights.”

“The website has clear information in general and the pre– departure booklet was helpful and closer. It is not possible to enjoy more than I have. The project has been amazing. The accommodation was comfortable and cozy. and the meals were tasty. All the staff people are very nice. The highlight of my trip is the possibility of meeting these wonderful girls at the orphanage which are so different to us and so similar at the same time. It has been a good manner to manner to meet India for the first time.”
