My IVHQ program manager has been amazing
August 02, 2023by: Apolline CharpentierProgram: Special Needs Care Volunteering in India - Kerala with IVHQ
My IVHQ Program Manager has been amazing, she answered all my questions and helped me prepare this trip in confidence. The website was also very well thought through, with the VISA application directly integrated, the possibility to buy add-ons such as airport pickup and short courses to help prepare. Overall really great! I want to thank the local support team again, including Ridhi, who went out of their way to make me discover as many things as possible and really contributed to making this trip unforgettable. Tasty meals, a mix of local and occidental food for all tastes, so good as a whole. Thanks again to the cooks! The volunteering is organised in a way to help us have an impact. I had an unforgettable experience, both in terms of culture discovered and impact in volunteering. IVHQ is a wonderful way to volunteer abroad, get out of your comfort zone and meet incredible people (the locals with whom I volunteered, the local team and the other volunteers)!
