We believe that volunteering abroad is two-fold. It’s not only about the hands-on assistance and skills that volunteers bring it’s also about what this amazing country, its people and its rich cultural heritage and diversity can offer the volunteer in return. It is therefore our responsibility to ensure volunteers have a life-changing, fun and fulfilling experience during their stay. Our client base ranges from school going/finishing ages wanting to volunteer or do a gap year abroad or an internship related to university studies. Not forgetting about our more mature/retired individual wanting to do a sabbatical with a purpose abroad as well.
