Kristin Frasca, from the USA - Home of Hope Volunteer
 “This has been an unforgettable, life-changing experience. I loved my time in South Africa. I now have hundreds of memories with new friends from all over the world. To all those at AVIVA, you have a great program, keep up the good work!”
Katie Moyes, from the USA - Baphumelele Volunteer
 “My 6 weeks in Cape Town have been some of the best weeks of my life. From my very first day in Cape Town, I was made to feel at home by the AVIVA staff. Working at Baphumelele was an incredible experience that I will never forget a moment of. Even if you are nervous about leaving home/family for an extended period of time, I would encourage anyone to come to South Africa & volunteer with AVIVA, you won't regret it - I promise!”
Laura Jane Robinson, from England - Inkwenkwezi Volunteer
 “I loved every minute of my time here, it was an amazing project to be involved in. Being at Inkwenkwezi has made me realise I have definitely chosen the right career path in choosing to study zoology at University. It was an incredible and sometimes unbelievable experience. I have also fallen in love with Cape Town, I didn't consider myself a city girl until I came here. Thanks to everyone who has made this trip all I hoped it would be.”
Anne Louise Foster, from Australia - Amapondo Volunteer
“Every aspect of my time here has been absolutely incredible. It truly is just a beautiful part of the world, and combined with the relaxed lifestyle, the friendships made and the laughs shared I have had the absolute time of my life! If you are considering volunteering, I really cannot recommend AVIVA highly enough as a way of experiencing the "real" Africa with a truly fantastic group of people!”

Samantha Wong, from England - Penguin Volunteer
 “It's impossible to put into words the tale of my South African experience. I spent a beautiful 6 weeks working with the African penguins at SANCCOB, exploring Cape Town and all its treasures, and getting to know the friendly locals. My trip was everything I had hoped for and much much more. The personal attention that each volunteer receives is priceless, and I would whole heartedly recommend AVIVA for anyone who wishes to volunteer in South Africa. I left having fallen in love with the country, its culture, the penguins… but most of all with the people. I made some great friends out there and have come home with countless photos, souvenirs, but most of all, beautiful memories. Thank you AVIVA for everything! So, all that is left to say is - what are you waiting for?!?! Volunteer! It'll be one of the best things you ever do!”
Remy Sijbom, from the Netherlands - Tamboti Conservation Volunteerr
 “My three short weeks with AVIVA have been so amazing that I wish I could have stayed longer. South Africa is such a beautiful country and all the people I've met (from fellow volunteers to the AVIVA team and the people at Tamboti) helped make this summer one of the best of my life. It has been an experience I will never forget.”
Rebecca Jones, from Wales - Baphumelele Volunteer
 “This by far is the best experience I've had in my entire life! It's opened my eyes so much to what people have and how happy they are with so little. The children at Baphumelele were so welcoming and their happiness and fondness of you is infectious! They always make you smile! The people I've met have become life-long friends and they've made the volunteering all the more special! Everyone needs to try AVIVA!!”
