Organic Farming Volunteering in New Zealand

After going on a trek in the Himalayas in January of 2024, I fell in love with the country and the people and wanted to return there to do some volunteer work. I found IVHQ on the internet and with the variety of programs they offer around the world I was able to return to Nepal and booked a trip to the Elephant Sanctuary in Chitwan. It was a magical experience. You learn such a lot about these wonderful animals and the hosts at the sanctuary were so gracious. It was a very rewarding experience.

My time volunteering with IVHQ was an incredible experience. The local team made me feel safe, comfortable, and welcome. I gained new insight and perspective, was completely immersed in a new culture, and felt like I really made a difference. I plan to do this annually and hope to make it back to the same village I went to in Ghana someday.
