“My volunteering experience in Morocco was wonderful. I was only for one week and worked at the childcare centre with toddlers. Everything was very well organized and with good information. Good co-workers here in Rabat.” – Marianne F, Community Development Programme, Morocco

“I have the most positive impressions of the programme in Uganda. As a mature volunteer on my first trip to Sub-Saharan Africa, I was a bit concerned beforehand, but I felt supported and safe throughout my journey, both through the Volunteering Solutions Operations Office and the local team. The local coordinators were amazing, and completely dedicated to what they do. The work was fulfilling, varied, and flexible. I learned a lot, through the voluntary projects, our conversations with the local coordinator, and the sightseeing. I recommend this programme to any volunteers who wish to contribute to some of the most vulnerable communities, in a location that’s off the beaten track.” – Victoria P, Community Development, Uganda
