Affordable Teaching Volunteering in India - Kerala with IVHQ

The guidance and preparation resources made me feel confident to give it a go. I had no concerns or worries as a result. IVHQ is a wholly trustworthy organisation which wants all volunteers to have a great experience. The programs represent great value for money. You will meet many other volunteers who hold similar values to you. There will be plenty of interesting discussions round the dinner table! In a sense, you will feel part of a family.

The resources met my expectation while enhancing a smooth transition with the local organisation I was affiliated to. The local team was remarkable in many aspects. Their respective projects were well run, streamlined and very well managed. My teaching coordinator was caring, professional and incredibly helpful and supportive. I had a positive feedback from the students and I do believe they truly enjoyed our mutual collaboration during the program. Getting out of your comfort zone is the first step towards your inner transformation. The connection you will build over your experience with locals as well as with other volunteers will unfold a wealth of opportunities in your life.

It was a great house which was in a good location, safe and the staff were extremely helpful. The rooms were clean and spacious. The food was prepared by the fantastic cooks who were really nice and always made high quality, nutritious meals. If someone was still hesitant about volunteering abroad, I would recommend trying it at least once and make sure it is with a reputable company like IVHQ who ensures a safe experience with great staff.

Scotia was extremely responsive. The program guidance / setup was extremely descriptive and helpful in preparing me for my trip. The local team was extremely helpful when I reached out. I enjoyed the food at the volunteer house thoroughly. The children that constantly drew and wrote thank you notes to me (I have a whole book of both English words and art by them with me at home now!) was my favorite. I was truly moved by both the children and adults that I taught. Also, watching the development of the adults from the first day until the last day that I taught was so rewarding. The way everyone was so grateful to me truly moved me beyond my own comprehension. Their gratitude displayed for my efforts was beyond comprehension. I did not expect to have such a profound impact in such a short timeframe. I worked hard to make an impact in my short time and by the way everyone responded I believe my energy was matched in every sense of the experience!
