Thank you so much to all of you! You made me feel at home right from the start and helped me turn my time in India into unforgettable memories. You are the kindest people I have ever met. I enjoyed every single day and wI will keep you in my heart. Lots of love! - Nadine
I appreciated the availability of Volunteering Journeys staff during my stay in Cochin. They were very supportive both at school with children, and at home for all our needs and requests. I also liked yoga at Shanti Yoga center. It was one of the most enriching experiences of my life. I would recommend to clean the room (at least sweep it and clean the toilet) at mid-week since it god very dirty. If this is not possible, please provide tools for volunteers to self clean the room. I would also recommend to give more detailed information about teaching program before departure, so that volunteers can already prepare material (e.g.: crafts, colours, plays, etc).
