The host are amazing and very friendly. Everyone in this environment is extremely nice and easy to talk to and I made some of the best friends of my life and the Introduction Week is definitely worth doing to experience Fiji and learn more.

I am so glad that my first visit to Fiji was as part of a volunteer group, it was an amazing way to get a real sense of the country, its people, and their culture.
The orientation week was really worthwhile.

I feel like I gained my sense of self and learned so much about different cultures around the world through fellow volunteers and was able to immerse myself into such a loving and special community! You should be prepared to live differently than you do back at home, although that was one of my favorite part of the experience! I would absolutely recommend joining an IVHQ program and pushing yourself to see what you’re made of. This was my first volunteer experience and I cannot wait to join another! My sister has also just signed up to do childcare in Bali after hearing about my experience!

I had an amazing experience with my 12 year old son volunteering in a local village in Fiji. We got to know the locals and made wonderful memories with the kids. I would absolutely recommend IVHQ to anyone looking to be immersed in the local culture and make a positive impact. This is my 2nd trip with IVHQ and plan to schedule my next one!

My hightlight moment from the volunteer experience was interacting with the locals, experiencing their culture, but most of all, seeing the smiles on the kids face everyday. The biggest impact my volunteering trip had on me was I was able to see how different cultures live and enjoy the simple wonders of life. It is an experience of a lifetime and you just have to get out of your comfort zone and do it. It will be an amazing experience that will last a lifetime.

My favourite moment was everyday when I arrived at the kindergarten seeing how happy and excited the kids were to see me. I think this volunteering trip helped me be more understanding, patient, kind and grateful. It is so worth it. The locals were so warm and friendly and I felt truly at home and not alone. I truly feel like I got just as much out of the experience as I gave. I learned so much. It's the best way to travel because you are giving back to the community in the process, and you get to experience/see what life is like for the local people.
