My volunteer trip to Fiji had a really positive impact on me, especially through the childcare and sports programs I worked in. Spending time with the kids, helping with daily activities, and supporting their learning showed me how meaningful even small acts of care can be. Coaching and playing sports with them also helped build confidence, teamwork, and genuine connections. The experience opened my eyes to the importance of community, patience, and giving back, and it’s something that will stay with me for a long time.

I have gained so much knowledge and confidence from my experience volunteering abroad with IVHQ. I never had the confidence to sign up and solo-travel but I am so glad I signed up when I did! I felt so safe throughout the duration of the trip and I would recommend volunteering to anyone!
