- You can message us at any time during the planning stage to help you prepare for your trip. Ask as many questions as you like!

- A detailed welcome pack and project pack is provided, so you can be fully prepared for your trip. You will also be given local contact numbers in case of an emergency.

- Program fees include a free airport pickup, so you can safely arrive at your project accommodation. Our local teams are always on hand for any support or advice you may need whilst on the program.

- An orientation is provided at most of our programs, where you will learn a bit about the culture, safety tips, local tour, and what to expect on your program.

- Our programs all have risk assessments carried out to help mitigate potential risks and keep volunteers safe.

All the coordinators were so lovely and created such a welcoming environment. I really enjoyed the food, being vegetarian I was worried about the food situation but the coordinators were so accommodating and made an entirely vegetarian meal specifically for my cousin and I every day. The accommodation was also nice and comfortable.
