Volunteer in Teaching in Romania

I really enjoyed meeting so many new people and experiencing a new culture. This is an experience you have to go into with an open mind and be willing to try new things. You will be some wonderful people and gain new perspectives and life experiences.

The local team did a really great job in supporting me during the time I was volunteering. I felt a very strong connection with the kids I was teaching and it made me happy to see how enthusiastic the children were when we were present in the classroom! I also learnt many things about the local customs and culture. Overall, I had a positive experience on the program as not only did I get to see a new part of the world but I also got to see the smiles that I would put on people's faces!

I worked with volunteer HQ and wow! I literally had 24/7 support from all my instructors and superiors. The students were always engaged in my schools and the gratitude they showed me every day made me feel like I made a difference. The food is absolutely fantastic in Romania and the culture immersion is such a blast. I was taken around the city by a few high schoolers who just talked and talked it was such a cool experience. The locals keep to themselves but are willing to chat if you approach them. Getting mocked by 3rd graders WASNT my idea of fun until it happened every day. These kids are so bright and welcoming it makes you hope to see them every day.
