Little Support and Interest from Management
The activities were great however support and guidance from management was sadly lacking.

Thank you once again for joining us in the Galapagos and for contributing to the conservation work there.
Volunteering as a student nurse in Tanzania
My experience volunteering on the project aboard Tanzania was great. My host family, accommodation and other volunteers there created great company both during weekday and weekend activities. I enjoyed getting to know people from different backgrounds and cultures.
As a healthcare volunteer, I gained invaluable insights from working in the hospital. I was exposed to a variety of clinical settings and learned not only from the healthcare professionals but also from the patients themselves. While the language barrier posed some initial challenges, making the effort to communicate helped me grow in both understanding and confidence.
For future medical or healthcare volunteers, I’d recommend bringing two to three pairs of scrubs. Depending on your placement—particularly if you're involved in surgical areas—it’s essential to have an extra, unworn set ready for use.

Thank you again for being part of this project, Sophie. We wish you all the best in your nursing career and hope to see you on another project in the future.
Had the best 5 weeks
Had the best 5 weeks, i felt so comfortable the entire time and loved every second! i had such a close relationship with my host families and cant wait to go back and visit them all. i felt so supported by the staff at all times, they showed me where i could find anything i would need. even on the weekends, i knew they were only a message away and would do whatever they could to help. Their recommendations were so helpful and they even took their time to help me plan my weekends to make the most of my time there. I honestly cant wait to do another project with projects abroad

Nepal
I did a two-week medical internship in Nepal with Projects Abroad and gained a lot of knowledge and insight, both medically and culturally. From the very beginning, I received amazing support from my supervisor, Soufiane Mbarki, who made the preparations smooth and stress-free. Once in Nepal, the coordinators were always available and supportive, quickly resolving any small issues that came up. I felt well looked after throughout my stay, and my host family made the experience even more special. Overall, it was a very positive and valuable experience that I can highly recommend.

Archeological course in Peru - amazing experience
My experience with Projects Abroad was amazing from start to finish! The communication via email and whatsapp was extremely prompt before and during my trip.

The best two weeks
I participated in a medical volunteer, but there was a scene where I had to wait standing for about 2 hours without doing anything at the hospital, which was a pity. Also, even though I participated in the high school program, I had to volunteer until around 24 o'clock, which was physically difficult. When eating out, the two of us were told to eat one dish, and the amount of food was not enough.
However, the hotel I was staying at was clean, so I spent time." On weekends, I was able to visit places rich in nature, and it was a great memory because I had experiences that I couldn't do in my own country.

Things I learned
Project abroad was really supportive all the time during my project. Also, I experienced many things and learned a lot from the culture of Philippines. All the people and mostly the kids were kind and energetic. Even though the environment wasn’t good enough to study , they shared with each other and kept on studying by finding creative ways.

We’re truly happy to hear that you felt supported throughout your project and that you were able to immerse yourself in the vibrant culture of the Philippines.

Your reflections show a deep appreciation for their spirit, and we’re sure they were equally inspired by your presence.
Thank you again for being a part of this meaningful work.

Parents perspective - Teenage daughter in Galapagos
My daughter recently returned from 2 weeks in the Galapagos with Projects Abroad. She had the most wonderful time. She got up close to lots of wildlife including the giant tortoise, turtles, sea lions, sea iguanas on the beach as well as boobies. The team were kept busy for their two weeks with lots of activities so they were not bored. Although I think my daughter had enough machete experience by the end of the two weeks 😂.
Given there were 3 flights each way, we took advantage of the option for a chaperone on the flights. That really helped give us peace of mind for the journey. The chaperone met us at Heathrow airport and was with the group for their entire trip, meeting us back at Heathrow 2 weeks later. She was great and we were reassured that our daughter was in safe hands.
All in all, this has been a truly memorable experience for our daughter and one she will never forget. She’s already looking at options for next summer and can’t wait.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your kind words about your daughter's recent trip to the Galapagos! We’re absolutely thrilled to hear she had such a wonderful and memorable experience! We're also so glad to hear that the chaperoned flights provided peace of mind for your family. Our chaperones work hard to support and guide the group throughout the journey, and it's fantastic to know that made a positive difference.
Most of all, it’s wonderful to hear that she is already looking ahead to her next trip — we’d love to welcome her back next summer for another incredible adventure!
p.s. As she is already a Projects Abroad alumni she is eligible to receive £200 off the total cost of her next trip with us. Don't forget to claim this for her next trip!

Hi Anna. Thanks for taking the time to share your experience of your diving project. We're really sorry to learn that you were disappointed.
We appreciate the community aspect you are referring to was particularly challenging, in part due to your arrival date being different to your cohort. As a consequence you missed the most sociable aspect of this project, which is the first few days - where Participants meet for the first time and work towards their diving certifications before they start diving.
We feel we did what we could to support you, including adapting your schedule, extra lessons, and alternative activities. Choosing to leave your project early had obvious consequences for your experience too, and we regret that you did not feel confident enough to begin diving but respect your wishes as our primary concern is always the health and wellbeing of our volunteers. However, in this case, we were able to offer suitable land-based alternative activities.
Normally our diving projects are some our most popular projects, the sense of accomplishment leads to enduring bonds. We understand that being on a different schedule and not completing the project led to a different, and disappointing experience, for you.
Your feedback has been valuable, and we are taking steps to improve the Participant experience - especially for those who may arrive out of sync with the rest of the group.
Thanks again, and do get in touch via info@projects-abroad.co.uk if you would like to continue this conversation.
Shark conservation in Fiji
Shark conservation in Fiji was a spectacular experience to me, especially being amazed by how I become really close friends with other fellow volunteers, and got to dedicate a lot of effort onto mangrove restoration, coral/species identification, and the renowned shark dive. Last time, I had the opportunity to participate in reef conservation at Koh Tao, Thailand. Though both of the experience were amazing, I loved more of how I could form a cute family with people around me~

We're especially happy to know that you bonded so well with your fellow volunteers, building that sense of community is a huge part of our mission, and it's those connections that make the hard work even more rewarding. We hope these friendships and the passion for conservation you've cultivated stay with you long after your time in Fiji.
Thank you again for choosing our program and for being such a wonderful volunteer.
