Incredible experience!!
July 25, 2019by: Kate’s-travel - IrelandI had the most amazing time on my trip to Kerala! I was on the kindergarten project and I loved every minute of it!! The staff in the house were incredible and thought us so much about the culture! The only thing I would change if I went back is I would stay for longer!!
It was the best thing I have ever done
June 25, 2024by: Laura BuffreyIt was the best thing I have ever done, apart from being a mum, the whole experience will stay with me forever. Do it - you will love the culture, people and mainly the beautiful children. I feel I got a lot out of this experience. I planned the lesson for the next day and I feel I have done some really good stuff - the children seemed to enjoy the lessons. I tried to make them fun by making play doh and doing a lot of prep and bringing a lot of equipment to help explain the topic. I did fund raising and I was so happy to receive over £1000 from donations from people back home to buy two water filters, plants for a garden project, lots of food, clothes and a study table.
