“To make this better, i think there should be organized activites, events or sightseeing after work in the evenings. Otherwise it is very easy and tempting to not do anything and just stay at the house.”

Hi Royden, Thanks for the 4* rating and sharing your suggestions regarding the organised activities and sightseeing after work hours. Sightseeing and tours are included as a part of the program in a few program options such as 2 Week Special Program, 1 Week Special Program, 3 Week Summer Program as well as Language and Orientation Week. We give the volunteers flexibility and options to choose from a wide variety of programs. For those interested in doing some sightseeing/touring with us, we have the selected programs available. However, it is not always possible to have sightseeing activities everyday as some participants like to have flexibility and freedom to explore and do things on their own as well. We value your feedback and suggestion on the program and would definitely take this into account when developing our programs. Thanks Team Volunteering Solutions

“I found ny experience with Volunteering Solutions as a whole very positive. The booking process was smooth and very simple- the team were quick to respond to queries and always very helpful. Once arrived in Delhi, the pick up process was again very simple and our guide wqs easy to find. The accomodation was fantastic and Rajiv a very helpful host. The apartment was very clean and spacious- my only request would be to include a clearer list in the pre-departure pack of what we need to bring i.e. toilet paper, duvet/bedsheet, this was never explained. Other than this I found the living quarters extremely pleasant. The food each day was wonderful and very prompt. It was great to have a guide drive us to our children’s centre on the first day to introduce us to the centre team and show us the journey. The centre was a great experience and I really enjoyed meeting all the children, the staff were really supportive at helping us understand how we can help the children with basic maths, English and basic life skills. During the orientation session, it wqs helpful to have a guide of which sites we should visit when in Delhi, making the most of our evenings once finishing at the centres at 4pm. I would like to thank Volunteering Solutions, Rajiv and his family for making my experience so fulfulling and comfortable- Ive really enjoyed my time here and will definitely be returning.”

“What areas did you like about our website? - Testimonials - Pictures - Pricing Any recommendations to improve the website More details on the placement How did you find the pre departure booklet given to you and the service of the staff in regards to answering your questions and helping you prepare? Excellent . The staff answered most of my questions. Did you enjoy working at your project / placement? Yes and No. Kids were awesome. Communication between volunteers and school teachers was kind of poor. Accommodation and meals Accommodation is awesome. Clean and Spacious. Meals were OK too. Coordinator Excellent . 10/10. Very helpful and approachable What was the highlight of your volunteering experience and your trip? The progress of the kids was great. Teaching them new concepts and seeing them respond with enjoyment and enthusiasm felt rewarding. Would you recommend this program and our organization to others? yes/no YES Any comments and suggestions Increased communication between volunteers and the school should be implemented to increase goal congruence.”
