Had the best couple weeks volunteering- learnt heaps about the awesome culture, had many awesome adventures, and had an incredible time constructing/renovating at a primary school. The food was amazing, and the locals were so helpful, welcoming, fun, and super funny! Loved every minute of my experience, and would reccomend it to anyone willing to put in hard work and immerse themselves in the culture.
