Volunteer with children in Posadas, Argentina
Most memorable were the children I met at my project, the Iguazu falls and the volunteers I met through the project. (more)
From US $1429 excluding flights
Book Bus project and safari in Malawi and Zambia
I think that The Book Bus project is a brilliant, useful and original idea. Kids and teachers were really happy to see us and to receive the books. Delivering school books in a place where they are scarce and expensive make a great difference for the students. (more)
From US $1565 excluding flights
Community project in Moshi, Tanzania
I feel I helped both the children on my project enjoy themselves, and also give the carers a break, having a knock-on effect on the children. Overall it was an amazing experience. I think everyone should do this at least once as it's a real eye-opener. (more)
From US $1679 excluding flights

I enjoyed my experiences with everyone and learned more about what it is to be mindful of others. (more)
From US $1259 excluding flights
