Rewarding experience with GVI
by: Isabella - AustraliaProgram: Nepal Community Development Service Learning for GroupsMy experience with GVI has been both a rewarding and valuable experience. I’ve met so many amazing people though this trip and I’ve learnt skills that I didn’t previously have. I’ve always wanted to volunteer and I’m glad GVI provided me with the opportunity to do so. I will cherish the time I’ve spent here for many years to come.
Amazing Individuals
by: Jessica - AustraliaProgram: Nepal Community Development Service Learning for GroupsI loved meeting people and working with the ladies. I loved teaching english (something i have never done before) but I feel as though more structure is needed to make volunteering time effective. I feel that a proper structure for english teaching is needed and a proper structure for children work is needed.
Fully supportive staff
by: Fabienne - CanadaProgram: Nepal Community Development Service Learning for GroupsI enjoyed the opportunities we had to learn about the local language ,culture ,and difficulties that the country is facing. I felt so supported when I wanted to arrange trips and activities over the weekend that I almost felt like a child at Disneyland.
