Feedback

"I am also very humbled by the generosity of these people, especially some of the kids who despite having nothing so want to give (sweets, flowers etc) and are so open, friendly and caring."

Catherine - Nepal volunteer

"I'm out here about six weeks right and I'm going to be here a total of four months in all. I teach eighteen year olds (some seventeen year olds as well) and it is just an amazing experience - something I could never have guessed what it would be like - now that I'm here I absolutely love it. If you want to come out, you'll have a great time: definitely hook up with the Global Volunteer Network."

Pascal - China volunteer

"The 2 weeks at Punta Mala were amazing, saw lots of baby turtles, and about 12 or so big mamas. Everyone there was lovely to work with too, and walking down the beach by moonlight on patrol was obviously very cool."
