I had an incredible experience in Nepal. Uma and her daughters were incredible and super accommodating, making my stay there wonderful. The school was also full of lovely people, all willing to help me learn the ropes and feel included. The tours around Nepal were also incredible, and overall I had a truly amazing experience which I would repeat in a heartbeat if I was given the chance.

I loved going to Cambodia to volunteer at Khmer-Sovietic Friendship Hospital. The country surprised me, and it was awesome to feel useful, as well as seeing how different the System is there, compared to Spain.

I felt like the communication was not good, many times we didn’t know what was going on or what were we supposed to do exactly. The experience was a good one, but I would definitely improve the quality of the information given beforehand as well as the communication once in the program.

I had good experience of Delhi and had a great time meeting with and interacting with the kids. We developed a strong bond, and I will cherish my memories of this trip. I would like to Thank the organization for making this trip possible.
The accommodation in Delhi was good and Shankar, the caretaker did a good job in taking care of us. I was hoping to see more volunteers to interact with, but maybe it was that week. I have recommended certain organizational aspects which will make the program stronger.
Overall an enjoyable and memorable trip. Thank you

My experience with Volunteer Solutions in Bali was incredible. This was my first time traveling out of the United States and going on a solo trip so I was a little nervous. From the airport pickup to staying at the accommodation to the airport drop off and everything in between, I felt safe, comfortable, and welcomed. I feel so incredibly lucky to have met so many amazing Balinese children, locals, and other volunteers. The community is truly inspiring. I would definitely recommend Volunteer Solutions to anyone that is wanting to volunteer around the world. I’m already trying to plan my next volunteer trip!!

I was also very pleased with accomodation and food. I haven’t felt unsafe for one second, people in the organisation really put in their effort in making us feel like at home and giving us everything we need.

The volunteer experience spent in Tamale for two weeks as a football coach was truly positive and hard to forget, since the relationship created with all the people we met was unique, and being able to see and experience real Ghanaian life made the trip a true cultural exchange between two completely different worlds as Western and African that allowed us to grow on a personal level and see with our own eyes situations we could only imagine.
The group of volunteers consisted of 9 boys of about 17 years old from all over the world (it was probably a lucky chance and it is not always the case) and we all bonded right away since, although we were set up for different projects, we still spent every morning at school teaching (we in football coaching as well), we always ate together and only in the afternoon the group was divided between those who had to do soccer training and those who had free time.
It should be pointed out, however, that the football coaching project takes a back seat to the teaching project at the girls' school in Vittin, so much so that over the course of the two weeks we went to school more times than to practice, but I consider this to be correct because I understand how much more important education can be in those cases rather than fun (in fact the only teachers were us volunteers). Another thing to point out with respect to my project is that we did not serve as coaches at all, but simply trained with kids from the local team who ranged in age from about 16 to 22.
As for the trips we took to Mole National Park and Kintampo Falls I want to say that they were very interesting and absolutely recommended to see a bit of Ghana, although the price remains a bit too high by Ghanaian standards ($120 per trip).
The only thing that made us a little perplexed was the use of the money given for the project, which, considering African standards, is a considerable amount of money, and I therefore recommend being more clear in showing volunteers and others how it is used and the in particular whether it is really being used to improve the conditions of the girls and boys we met who were living in total poverty or rather to enrich those who already have enough money (motivation why I gave 4 stars).
Finally, I recommend for those who want to undertake this project to be totally open to everything (even not using working toilets for two weeks or sleeping on the ground) and not to have any kind of expectations and above all to live the experience to the full by talking and getting to know all those people full of life and smiles who always made us feel special.

I did a one week teaching project in Bali with Volunteer Solutions, it has been one of the most meaningful and fulfilling experiences of my life!!! I came back a more humble person, more appreciative of my blessings and with a deeper sense of purpose. In only one week those children changed my life and I could only hope I gave them half of what they poured into me.

The process was very easy to navigate, the staff at Volunteer Solutions walked me through every step and, the volunteer portal is super simple and helped keep everything organized in one place. Sahil always responde quickly and was always willing to accommodate me. After that project I signed up for Peru and Costa Rica.

I had a wonderful volunteering experience in Ireland! There was flexibility in selecting different community projects. I throughly enjoyed working in a charity shop with a local team to get a new shop set up. I felt like I was really able to help them and that my volunteer efforts mattered. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. I loved getting to know some people in the local community. The host family I stayed with was wonderful and I was able to explore the local town shops and cafes after volunteering. On weekends i was able to explore other towns and areas of Ireland as there is a good bus system. I would highly recommend this volunteer opportunity to anyone interested in getting to know Ireland!

It was my second experience with volunteering solutions and I really appreciate there organization, support and experience.
I did two weeks ‘Street Children Volunteer program’ in Delhi.
It is always a blessing to have this opportunity in my life. The people I met, the moments we share, the realities, the knowledge, the cultures, the food, and most important the love in the whole experience. That you think you gonna bring some extra love to those kids, but they are the ones filling up your heart and your whole soul. ❤️ Highly recommend to have this experience at least once in your life 🙏🏼
Thank you to Rajiv, Sahil (I couldn’t meet in person), Shankar and the amazing cooker. Also to Mr Bhavesh and the teacher that are doing an amazing job with this kids.

Good Morning. This review is from the Mother of a volunteer.

If any of you parents are out there worried about whether or not this program is legitimate, I understand. I am writing to let you know that so far I have been so impressed. Our daughter flies out tomorrow and will be volunteering in Arusha, Tanzania. The program coordinators have been so professional and helpful. They have gone out of their way to make sure that Mariah understood what the next steps will be. They have made arrangements to pick her up at the airport and have reassured her that she will be safe and taken care of. And, much to our surprise, they even help coordinate trips from Arusha to visit parts of Africa!

Sahil Sabharwal, in particular, has been so helpful. Once Mariah paid her initial volunteer fee, they send her a booklet explaining everything and then set up a zoom call to go over all the details.

This seems like a well-organized operation and we are very excited for her trip. We'll come back after the fact and leave a review on how it went.

Best of luck!

I had an amazing experience with CSDS through Volunteering Solutions. From the first day to the last, they made sure the volunteers were acclimated to the new culture, make sure there is always a buddy system bringing the volunteers to the volunteering site, prepared food, etc. I volunteered at the Friendship Village and I leave with a bigger heart. It is such a rewarding experience. I definitely will volunteer again next year!
