amazing staff

My family and I volunteered as an opportunity to give back when we have so much. Through IVHQ we had a safe, informative, helpful and overall incredible experience. The staff was very organized and responsive in answering all questions prior to travel. The experience went exceptionally well for such long flights, and they were even very accommodating when the airline misplaced our baggage for the 1st 8 days of the trip. We had a clear plan and clear expectations and nothing disappointed! This was our second family volunteer trip with IVHQ, and we plan to spend 2 weeks in Vietnam next Christmas with them as well! What an incredible way to authentically see the world for a very reasonable cost and give back at the same time. Priceless.

It was so worth it

Im so glad I made the decision to finally volunteer abroad. Choosing ivhq made the process easy and safe. I'll be doing this again in the future. But next time, I'm going to a new country because there are so many options!

I had a great time in Thailand volunteering through IVHQ. Their pre departure checklists and videos were really helpful, and gave me confidence. The handover to the local team was seamless, with pickups and transport working really well. During the placement, the accommodation was great, with a good range of extra activities to get involved in during our downtime. In my third week, I transferred to a private room, as my boyfriend joined, and this again was seamless, with local pickups and drop offs only a whatsapp away. And the placement itself was sooo rewarding! I did construction and renovation which was sometimes tough in the heat, but well worth it to see the gratitude on the faces of the pupils and teachers at the kindergarten.
