by: GVI reviewProgram: Volunteer on Construction Projects in IndiaFirstly the staff at GVI are extremely helpful and welcoming, they support you throughout the whole journey, having local people on board too is really good. The construction course is fantastic you can make a real difference (if you put in the hard work) in only 2 weeks, its also extremely important that GVI only invest in sustainable projects that really make a long term difference to peoples lives. They also make sure that our money is spent efficiently and properly.
