travel with purpose

Program: Volunteer in Childcare in South Africa

9

My time volunteering in Cape Town with IVHQ was truly life-changing. Working with the children was the highlight. Their energy and resilience are unforgettable. The program also excels at fostering community. I met incredible people from around the world, and sharing a living space made the experience even richer. From impactful volunteer work to exploring the stunning city and coastline, every moment felt meaningful. I highly recommend this for anyone looking to give back and grow!

English teaching Kindy kids in Vietnam with my 13 year old son

Program: Volunteer and Teach English in Vietnam

10

IVHQ provided in-depth information prior to our volunteer posting. This allowed us to fully prepare and take into consideration small elements that we may have overlooked, like cultue shock. Being aware allowed us to normalise the experience and feel supported. They also provided guidance and support with regards to volunteering with our 13 year old child. They ensured that he to was in an appropriate program with myself that would support his learning and well-being. Our placement was safe supported, but also allowed us to be independent. I would not hesitate to do this again with my child and adult children, its life changing
