My overall experience here in Kerala has been absolutely incredible and one that I am sure that I'll never forget. From going to project in a tuk tuk everyday, to getting to know all the staff and volunteers, to laughing at ourselves continuously while bollywood dancing, this experience has been one of the best. I am absolutely confident that anyone who chooses to volunteer with GVI in India will have the most amazing time. I'll miss everything about Kerala and I'll certainly be returning soon.

A complete out of norm experience. For anyone wishing to add some humility and world experience to their lives, this is a great place to do it. I felt like the work I did was important and that it mattered.

Overall I had a wonderful experience. The accommodations were absolutely wonderful. The food wasn’t great but I think it represented the culture really well and Paul was good at understanding when we needed something more similar to back home. I wish there had been more guidance regarding what we needed to prepare prior to coming, although again everyone was extremely willing to be flexible and allow us time off from sessions to plan. I had a great life changing experience and I am very thankful...
