Well-structured program
by: Lisa - GermanyProgram: South Africa Wildlife Awareness Service Learning for GroupsProgram was well-structured and I liked the variety between sport assignments, teaching and renovating. However, I would have loved to spend more time with the crèche kids, do more teaching and work together with the crèche kids' parents at the beautification project
It's a great experience to be here.
by: ClaireProgram: South Africa Wildlife Awareness Service Learning for GroupsIt's a great experience to be here. I don't know if I have made any effect to those kids, but absolutely the happy kids, the good people here have a great effect on me, I love these wonderful place and people. Also thanks to Tilda and Zani for helping me/us with the whole program.
Great Staff
by: JoyProgram: South Africa Wildlife Awareness Service Learning for GroupsWe were extremely well looked after by GVI staff Charlotte and Jack. They both made every effort to make us feel welcome and to make sure our group were safe and well informed. The accommodation was very comfortable but we were made to feel very unwelcome by the owners, particularly one of the owners who was quite aggressive and intimidating in his language.
