I'm very satisfied with this project. It gave me a great perspective and lots of knowledge in how Kerala manages health in citizens. Accommodation was great. Food was excellent, always hot and ready when needed. The trasport was also nice.

I was very much satisfied with the project I chose. I got to see new ways to treat patients (pt) while also getting to know the culture around here. I will miss being here. The room, beds, bathrooms and common areas were wonderful. Couldn't ask for a better place to have stayed. Unfortunately, I only ate breakfast in the house, but I can say that It was delicious. The taxi driver was friendly, plus tuktuks and Uber were lifesavers.

A wonderful experience

We had an absolutely remarkable time with Rainbow Voluntours. We were looking for a family volunteering opportunity and came across them in a web search. The director, Ridhi, was invariably thoughtful and responsive in our correspondence, listening to what we were looking for and matching us with a perfect situation. Our family of 6 (four kids, ages 5-13) would be teaching in a school and an after-school program, and I was worried that it would either be too much (i.e., "Here's your class for the week, best of luck!") or too little (i.e., "Sit over in the corner and watch."). It was the perfect balance: making a contribution but not being asked to do too much, with Rainbow Voluntours staff with us every step of the way to help, support, clarify, etc. I was also impressed that they didn't feed us a line about how we were changing the world in a week; I knew going in that *we* would be the ones most changed, and the staff's perspective's was the same: we were making an impact by showing we cared and sharing experiences, which hopefully meant something to a lot of people. The whole staff in Kerala -- Ridhi, Geeta, Midhu -- were wonderful, and it was a transformative experience for our family.
