What do our past volunteers say?
“Booked a medical volunteering trip to Kenya in March with 7 other students and had the best time of my life. The trip was by far the most amazing thing I have ever done. The organization from Volunteering Solutions was incredible, they were always quick to respond to any queries and our contact in Kenya was amazing!”- Keri H, Medical Volunteer in Kenya
“The program we had in Thailand was amazing! We had a lot of fun, we learned about and got to interact deeply with the elephants on an ethical camp. The people running the camp also made us feel at home and prepared some incredible experiences as well.”- Jorje J, Elephant Camp Volunteer in Thailand
