Wonderful Project!
June 04, 2025by: Natalie Born - GermanyProgram: Volunteer in Grenada – Elvira's Garden Community CentreI 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!

Incredible Project!
June 04, 2025by: Tara Hennessy - IrelandProgram: Volunteer in Grenada – Elvira's Garden Community CentreThe hosts Linda and Rae are helpful, fun, considerate and down to earth. Each day spent at Elvira's Garden was different and provided a solid insight into life in Grenada. I loved my time here and I am excited to come back again in the future. There are lots of ways to get involved outside of camp times. The facilities are excellent and I had plenty of time to explore the island. I arrived at Elvira's Garden without knowning anyone and I left with friends for life! Thanks!
