Volunteer in Teaching in Sigatoka, Fiji

I had the most amazing experience volunteering through IVHQ. I went to Fiji and it felt like I was immersed with he locals, but yet enjoying a vacation. The entire process was fluid and made me feel comfortable. I have already decided that any future volunteering will be done through IVHQ. This is now the way I plan on vacationing.

I didn’t have a favorite moment, as every moment was as valuable to me. Getting to see kids smiles when you walk in and hearing them laugh and sing was very fulfilling. I learned how important it is to me to get out of my comfort zone and experience new things. I learned a lot about patience and perseverance, I made a lot of friends worldwide that taught me their cultures and seeing how good it feels to make an impact impulsed me as well to find other ways to keep doing that. Even though it is hard to step out of what you know, you need to push yourself in order to grow. You are going to find a safe space where you feel at home, and the team will be glad to help with that. You never know if your going to like something until you try it, and it is impossible not to be filled with joy when you see how much you have helped local communities.

GO FOR IT!!! Loved it so much, the experience is something I’ll be always remember. You’ll meet the best people. Will be returning to volunteering again when I can. My favorite moment from the volunteer experience was playing cards, dancing with the kids, making tea all the time, watching frog racing, failing at volleyball(but dancing instead), running with diner plates to watch the sunset. Etc… The biggest impact my volunteering trip had on me was seeing how caring these kids are towards each other, their incredible singing, their playfulness and how smart they are was an amazing experience and I feel so grateful.
