Volunteer in Childcare in Morocco

I would tell those who are still hesitant about volunteering abroad to absolutely go for it! I was very hesitant about it at first as this was a new program to me and I had never met any of the people who were running the program in person before. However, I can’t even imagine if I had decided not to do it. I am forever impacted by this trip and I will absolutely be volunteering with IVHQ again! The biggest impact that this trip has had on me was how it opened my mind to so much more and made me realise that there is a whole world that is outside of the small town I live in. I came into this program hoping to make an impact on the children who attended the Childcare project. However, it was the children who ended up impacting me more. The first time I walked through the door they greeted me with excitement and instantly started calling me 'teacher' and giving me hugs. They made me feel so warm and important and I will never forget the impact they had on me everyday.

IVHQ was the best thing I’ve ever done and I can’t wait to choose my destination for next year! The local team went above and beyond for us and our host family provided us with a very warm, safe and comfortable environment. Walking into the daycare every morning and seeing how excited the kids were to see us had to be my favourite moment.

Incredible organisation which fully supports you throughout your volunteering! Had a brilliant experience where every step of the way the IVHQ team were available to provide you with any information you required. Whilst on the trip the local team made you feel really comfortable and welcome. They also provided recommendations for weekend and evening trips which was really helpful! Really would recommend IVHQ to anyone wanting to make a difference and also have a holiday abroad- what a better mix?
