I gained more than I could ever put into words. I learned about the culture, was included by and formed friendships with locals, and got to see so much of the country. My advice would be to push down the doubts and take the leap. As scary as it may seem, you’ll dread coming back home at the end.

Do it! Hit send and do it. One of the best decisions of my life. My reason for going was personal. I went with zero expectations and came home with abundance.

I took my 3 year old daughter with me and have no regrets. She has grown so much in the last 2 weeks, and was able to experience a new school, new culture and new country and the experience for both of us has been very enriching. Thank you IVHQ for looking after us!

Volunteering in Fiji in the childcare program was one of my most rewarding experiences to this day. All my expectations were exceeded, the program was very organized, and the people I met have now turned into lifelong friends. The childcare program in Sigatoka is one I’d recommend to anyone and the schools in Fiji will always take the extra help! 10/10 experience!
