International Volunteer HQ [IVHQ]

It was by far the best volunteer experience I have done I only wish I could have stayed longer. The culture and food was so amazing and everyone was so welcoming and friendly. This experience I will remember for the rest of my life and have made so many amazing friendships.

My experience volunteering on a childcare project with International Volunteer HQ was incredibly rewarding. I spent two weeks there, and it quickly became clear that this was more than just a short trip—it was something meaningful. The time I spent with the children was the highlight of the experience. Each day involved different activities, and I really valued the opportunity to interact, support, and simply be present with them. Their positivity and openness made every moment feel worthwhile. What I appreciated most was how this experience allowed me to step out of my usual routine and focus on giving back. It helped me realise how even small contributions can have an impact. At the same time, it encouraged personal growth and a better understanding of different environments and people. The program was well structured, and the support from the team made everything run smoothly. I always felt comfortable and guided when needed. Overall, it was a very enriching experience that left a strong impression on me. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to volunteer and make a difference.

I had a very enriching and meaningful experience participating in the Delhi program with IVQH. Although my stay was only one week, the impact it had on me was significant, and I truly wish I could have stayed longer. The clinic and the community it serves are located in an area with a great deal of need, which made the experience even more impactful. I felt very fortunate to connect with other volunteers who were incredibly kind, supportive, and passionate about the work. I thoroughly enjoyed my time in Delhi. The environment was welcoming and supportive, and the accommodations felt comfortable and home-like. The program overall was well organized, which made it easy to adapt and focus on learning and contributing. I especially valued the time spent in the clinic working with patients. Despite the language barrier, there was strong support for communication, which allowed for meaningful interactions and even the opportunity to learn a few words in Hindi. Overall, this has been one of the most meaningful experiences I have had, and I hope to have the opportunity to return in the future.
