Teaching Volunteering in China

This week I've been able to experience activities that I would have never thought of every having the fortune to participate in. From collecting and planting seeds in the muddy mangroves to playing and teaching the local elementary school children, the IVHQ program has offered me once in a lifetime experiences. The people I've met on this trip have also been amazing in their own unique ways. I've learnt so much not just about the Philippines where the program was held, but also about the other countries where the other volunteers came from. The program has really opened my eyes and shown me how much there is to explore within the world and I'd highly recommend it to anyone else hesitant to join.

Since the start of signing up for the program, it was a wonderful experience. My program manager from IVHQ was wonderful. She answered all my questions and all my nerves I had before hand. From the experience to everything from the start, it was wonderful. Being how easy it was to be able to volunteer abroad and connected to the local team, and asked any questions in Costa Rica. Was so easy, Not only that, but the local team they worked with was wonderful at my destination. Everyone was so kind from my host family to the workers at my local team in Costa Rica. I felt welcomed at my volunteer site and had such a wonderful experience that I will never forget. I was able to go sight seeing after volunteering and be able to explore more of Costa Rica. Guess what I’m already planning my next trip to volunteer with IVHQ in Costa Rica again
