The perfect place for me to be

Program: Volunteer in Grenada – Elvira's Garden Community Centre

I had an amazing time volunteering at Elvira's Garden in Grenada. I LOVED working with the children, and i miss them everyday. Getting to know them was definitely the highlight of my entire trip. The entire team at Elvira's Garden was so amazing and welcoming, special thanks to Kiera and Rae for being my side the entire trip. The entire team treated me like family. Grenada was my first ever trip internationally alone, and it was definitely the perfect place for me to be. All the people are incredibly kind and the culture is beautitul. I love it there and cannot wait to visit!!

I volunteered at Elvira's Garden Easter Camp and would definitely recommend it! The staff did everything they could to give the children a great 2 weeks with lots of activites like dancing, swimming, crafts and excursions. All the staff and other volunteers were very welcoming, so I felt comfortable from the start. I also appreciated that my vegetarian diet was taken into consideration and that I could always choose a vegetarian alternative. All in all, it was a great time for me and I am glad to have been part of this wonderful project which is definitely a gift for the children in Grenada.

Great people! Worthy Cause!

What inspired you to travel abroad?

Elvira’s Garden was inspired by both family history and what I could see happening right around me. My father was born on the land we use today, so for me this place has always meant something deeply personal.

What inspired you to travel abroad?

I was drawn to this organization because of its commitment to supporting children. I’ve always had a passion for helping young people, and when I saw the impact this charity makes (particularly as it is very close to where I grew up), I knew I wanted to be a part of it. Knowing I could contribute, both administratively and directly with the kids, really inspired me to get involved.

What inspired you to travel abroad?

My two daughters have always shared this passion with me—one is a teacher and the other a social worker. Together, we saw the need for a community space that could provide more than just childcare. We wanted to create a safe, joyful, and enriching environment for children to grow, explore, and be heard. That's how Elvira’s Garden was born—a place named in honor of the grandmother my daughters never met, who was always giving, always growing something beautiful.
