Well Worth Doing
November 23, 2017by: Richard - EnglandI volunteered for two weeks on the slum teaching program in Delhi. The organisation on IVHQ side was fantastic, the people I met were brilliant, the host families were so welcoming. I would go through IVHQ again as its a great way to travel and meet new people.

Eye opening month
May 03, 2018by: Mia - United KingdomI spent 3 weeks with IVHQ volunteering in Delhi, India. The guides and staff were so helpful and friendly. Any problems and they would try and fix it as soon as possible. The other volunteers really made my time there memorable. Such a genuine and funny bunch. The accomodation at the homestay was good, comfortable beds and clean bathroom. The programme itself was an incredible experience. The kids I taught definitely left their mark on me and taught me more than I could have dreamed. I would recommend IVHQ as an organization 100%. They were so professional and always replied to my emails promptly and thoroughly. I’ll volunteer with them again and am trying to convince others to as well!
Thanks for volunteering with IVHQ! That is great to hear that you felt well looked after and supported while on the program, volunteer safety is a top priority for IVHQ. Your time on the Teaching project was invaluable and we would love to have you volunteer with us again! ^Samantha - IVHQ India Program Manager
Slum teaching in Delhi
December 01, 2018by: Kierynn Hughes - New ZealandThis was my first oversea volunteer trip and IVHQ exceeded my expectations. The pre-trip programme is laid out with every detail in mind, it's extremely helpful. While I was there I experienced things I couldn't even dream of and at all times IVHQ provided us with support. The add-on tour at the beginning of the programme was incredibly helpful for getting to know everyone, getting acquainted with the new unfamiliar country you're in and also getting to know the member of the IVHQ team. Overall it was a very professional programme that gave you a great mix of country experience and helping the locals. I would love to see them go further with how in depth the helping aspect of the programme could be. I'm constantly recommending IVHQ to my friend and others who ask me who they should volunteer through.
