My IVHQ program manager has been amazing

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)!

      As a volunteer on the Kerala Special Needs Care project, you will play an important role in providing people with special needs an opportunity to learn new skills and a level of care that they otherwise would not have access to. Having a child with a physical or mental disability creates a negative social stigma for families in India and low-income families find it very difficult to diagnose and support disabled children with the care they need. This project is best suited to volunteers with a caring and compassionate nature who are patient, hardworking, and willing to offer support with a range of duties.
