This is the second time I have travelled with IVHQ

I discovered New Delhi and the Indian culture, learnt so much on a medical aspect and met so many lovely people (both the locals and the other volunteers). I would highly recommend IVHQ to have a fabulous and impacting experience in complete safety.

They were very easy to contact at any time, communication or relations were the most heart-warming and pleasant, perfect care was provided 24/7. Personally, volunteering in the slum clinic (in Faridabad, India) undoubtedly changed my perspective of life, values, family and friends.

Volunteering trip made me feel empowered and capable
by: Sandeep AggarwalProgram: Volunteer in Healthcare in IndiaThe prep from IVHQ was very thorough and provided very useful information. The step by step guide was easy to use. Scotia answered all questions as they arose. The local team was friendly, extremely supportive and they made us feel very comfortable. From this volunteering trip, I felt I could make a difference even with limited resources and outside my specialty.
