Incredible experience
January 13, 2019by: Kerri - AustraliaProgram: Laos Teaching InternshipMy experience with GVI was incredible. I’ve never felt more supported, welcomed and accepted for who I was. The challenge of teaching every day was new and exciting, but I am thankful to the field staff and fellow volunteers who made it so much fun! Plus the students were such beautiful and inspiring individuals. It was an honour to be a part of the program.
It's a full immersion experience
January 12, 2019by: Charlene - CanadaProgram: Laos Teaching InternshipGreat experience booking the trip and setting up expectations for the volunteers. Once arrived, you're taken care of from airport pick up to drop off once you're program ends. The only inconvenience was having to book another hotel the night before the program starts. Although the ones recommended are just next door. Overall, it is a full immersion experience and you hit the ground running.
My experience was really great
January 10, 2019by: Julie - United StatesProgram: Laos Teaching InternshipI thought the prelim teaching sessions were very good. Having never taught before, they are essential. The staff were helpful and engaged to various degrees. The set up of meeting and having lesson planning each day is very important and works to keep students engaged. Resources are good and maintained as well as can be expected. The best part is the teaching. Laos people are very special and wonderful to interact with!
