I liked the feedback- videos of the other volunteers who did the same program. So I could see how everything will be. I also liked the plenty variety of different projects you are offering there. So many countries with different cultures to go and to visit. Pre-departure booklet was good and informative! I also liked that there was always someone who could help you with your concerns that quickly =)! 

I loved the placement with the kids, because they were so nice and gave me so much love back. I also enjoyed the communication with my colleagues, because they were so friendly and always helped me, when I didn’t know what to do with the kids. They were so nice to me. To get to know a totally different kind of culture with its facets and to get more independent from home is the highlight from this program.

During that time I could live in a host family with two guys almost in my age. That was good to do something together in my spare time. My host mum was always very kind to me and when I had a problem I always could ask her and she helped me also to understand more the –for me-new culture. The meals always have been so delicious and fresh. I enjoyed it a lot. 

Yes, I would recommend this program to anyone.
