Great Experience

March 13, 2026by: Ryan Barno - United States

Program: Volunteer and Coach Sports in Ghana

10

Everything was very smooth and straight forward. They gave me all of the information I needed for my visa and all the contact information I would need once I arrived. Everything they said would happen, happened just as they said. Everyone was very welcoming, from the people who ran it to the village I was in. The location of service was great to assist. The team who took care of us in the house was very nice. They always checked in with is and even adjusted food as people requested. They all helped and control everything they could and supported us if there was anything they couldnt. It was an overall great experience and I cannot wait to do it again!

Program: Volunteer in Childcare in Tanzania

It was amazing! The program I did was so fun and fulfilling! And the staff at my house were so kindhearted and wanted to help with everything you asked/was wondering. It also felt very safe to be there, and it was always security around the house. The food was also so good! The staff there did a really good job with cleaning the house, making sure we had enough food etc. The transport there was also very good, 10/10!

“El mar: un mundo nuevo lleno de paz”

March 12, 2026by: JESHUA LEVI GALICIA GONZALEZ - Mexico

Program: World’s #1 Spain Volunteer Abroad Programs

Fue mi primer voluntariado; nunca antes había participado en uno y decidí hacerlo con IVHQ. Gracias a esta experiencia conocí un país nuevo y también un mundo que jamás pensé que conocería: el mar. Participar en actividades de conservación marina me permitió comprender una realidad que antes ignoraba; nunca imaginé que el océano pudiera contener toneladas de basura. Sin embargo, bastó con ayudar a retirar parte de esos desechos para darme cuenta de la importancia de cuidar este ecosistema. Al mismo tiempo, pude descubrir un mundo distinto, donde, a pesar de todo, solo se siente paz.

Ultimo día de mi voluntariado en Conservación Marina.

I love to travel and, specifically traveling abroad, as a way to broaden my cultural awareness. As I am usually traveling with friends or family, I was looking for a location that would make a good, first solo trip and opportunity to challenge myself socially, as well.
