absolutely incredible
February 10, 2020by: Kyra - AustraliaProgram: India Community Development Service Learning for GroupsMy overall experience here in Kerala has been absolutely incredible and one that I am sure that I'll never forget. From going to project in a tuk tuk everyday, to getting to know all the staff and volunteers, to laughing at ourselves continuously while bollywood dancing, this experience has been one of the best. I am absolutely confident that anyone who chooses to volunteer with GVI in India will have the most amazing time. I'll miss everything about Kerala and I'll certainly be returning soon.
A complete out of norm experience
January 05, 2020by: DianeProgram: India Community Development Service Learning for GroupsA complete out of norm experience. For anyone wishing to add some humility and world experience to their lives, this is a great place to do it. I felt like the work I did was important and that it mattered.
I absolutely loved my experience!

When lessons/projects go well, you leave with your heart feeling so full and you know that you've actually made a difference, even to one person's life. I'm definitely going to volunteer again!
