This was the best experience I have ever had.

This was the best experience I have ever had in my entire life. I went with 14 other kids from across our school trust, last year July. Being immersed in another culture- My experience being in Panama- and contributing to bettering their community was such an amazing feeling. It is honestly hard to put it into words how much I enjoyed the trip. If you are given a chance do not hesitate to take it.

Thank you Andrei for sharing your experience, we are so pleased the community engagement and connections with the children made such an impact.

Thanks Kian for your kind review, we are so pleased to hear it was such a positive experience for you!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Amazing

Great experience to be honest really opens your mind on how you view things when seeing people with much less than you more happy it make you think your life isn’t as bad as you think when your stressed about things still be grateful because we don’t realise how lucky we are. As for the staff they were great had a laugh with them and were very good at bonding and explaining things to us really enjoyed it only bad thing I can say is that I wish it was longer but that says more about the experience than anything none of us wanted it to end.

It was so much fun!

It was so much fun! I went to India about a year ago and have made lifelong friends and memories. Our leader there, Sam made sure we were all included and honestly seemed more of a friend than an authority

It was a wonderful experience

It was a wonderful experience I learnt a lot and felt supported throughout my time with them. I picked up many skills that helped me in later life and discovered a lot about myself.

One in a lifetime experience

The experience was a life challenge event for me. The things that I saw were stuff that people don't see in a million years, the views, the people and the culture is beautiful.

Made us feel safe and welcome

The company ensured that we had a break when we got there and made it clear that if we were having any problems we would know where to go and they made the experience even more fun by showing us around Kathmandu.

The volunteering felt so rewarding

The volunteering felt so rewarding, as for us being able to use our adaptive skills we have picked up to organise a suitable lesson plan that would intrigue the children including their favourite games, which was good to see them enjoy working together and getting to know us.
