Health Care Volunteering in Laos

My time volunteering with IVHQ was an incredible experience. The local team made me feel safe, comfortable, and welcome. I gained new insight and perspective, was completely immersed in a new culture, and felt like I really made a difference. I plan to do this annually and hope to make it back to the same village I went to in Ghana someday.

During the first week of orientation, you had the option to volunteer with special needs girls which was such an eye opening experience. The ability to connect with people from a completely different culture and with language difference is surreal. You may be hesitant due to language differences but the local team speak English and the girls with special needs are grateful to have you around and find other ways of communication
