However, literacy in Kerala is measured in the local language Malayalam, rather than in languages that are useful for education or employment outside of the state. School dropout rates after primary school are also very high, particularly among low income groups. As a result, man...

You will feel part of a family.

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 connection you will build over your experience with locals as well as with other volunteers will unfold a wealth of opportunities in your life.

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.

      Kerala is known to be one of the most progressive states in India with very high reported literacy rates of almost 95%. However, literacy in Kerala is measured in the local language Malayalam, rather than in languages that are useful for education or employment outside of the state. School dropout rates after primary school are also very high, particularly among low income groups. As a result, many local people find it difficult to find employment because they lack qualifications in English literacy. The Teaching project is well suited to volunteers who have strong English skills and a passion for education. Volunteers on this project will work in schools throughout the Fort Kochi area to build the English language ability of children between the ages 6 and 12 years-old and provide an i...
