Solo Volunteer over 60

IVHQ is a great organization to volunteer through. They provided each step in a clear and organized manner from the volunteer handbook to the many helpful hints along the way. My volunteer placement was perfect for me, and I lookedforward to going there everyday. I also had plenty of tome afterwards to explore Peru. The IVHQ team also checked up on you throughout the entire process, while you were volunteering and afterwards. I appreciated how they kept touch. Overall, it was truly an amazing experience!!

Best experience of my life

Volunteering in Tanzania was one of the most meaningful experiences of my life. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with warmth and kindness that made me feel part of the community. Every day brought something new teaching children, helping with local projects, and learning about a culture that values connection, joy, and simplicity.

Teaching in Hua Hin, Thailand

My IVHQ coordinator was very punctual and informative when answering my email and questions. Thailand was the first asian country I ever travelled to and I really loved the country, I was never home sick. The locals I met and the other volunteers were all kind and fun to be around. The teaching program was not too difficult even though it was mostly autonomous because there are coordinators and resources available to help build lessons. The volunteer to free time ratio was great. My only complaint was that my travel group found the beds too hard, but it was address by the end of the week.

Teaching a frist grade class.
