I loved this experience and I can’t wait to do this volunteer work again.
July 02, 2025by: Camila HerreraProgram: Volunteer and Teach in Nosy Komba, Madagascar with IVHQ
From this experience, I not only grew as a person by adapting to cultural differences and everything that came my way, but I was also able to make an impact on the community. I was surrounded by friendly, intelligent, open-minded people who were always willing to help. I loved this experience and I can’t wait to do this volunteer work again. One recommendation I would give to someone who is about to start is to keep an open mind, be very willing to help the community, and know how to adapt in order to contribute in the best way possible. If one volunteers in the teaching program, I recommend having a lot of patience and love, and especially contributing with materials and support for the community.
The whole experience exceeded any expectations by 1000x

One month was too short and I wish I could've stayed for MUCH longer! I hope and plan to return for a longer period one day :) Ampang has my heart! I went into this program having zero idea what to expect, I just always knew I wanted to teach English in Madagascar. The whole experience exceeded any expectations by 1000x. The staff is awesome, I've made so many close friends there and I loved learning the language and about the culture. Teaching there has made a huge impact on me and I am forever grateful for the experience and opportunity.
Overall, I felt very well prepared before starting my trip

Overall, I felt very well prepared before starting my trip. I felt very well supported throughout the duration of my volunteer experience by the local team. What a great group of hard working individuals! I continue to reflect on the level of eagerness and interest demonstrated by the students, children, teens and adults. Children attended the classes despite being on school break! My favourite moment was hearing students call out my name while walking about in the village following my volunteer teaching experience. I couldn't believe they remembered my name. This trip generated a renewed sense of gratitude for all things available to me at home. If you are thinking about volunteering, go for it! You won't regret it and will only grow from the experience.
