What were your impressions of your destination?

It's impossible to put it into words, just the most incredible place I've seen.

Was the work interesting and challenging?

Tons of variety on project from playing with kids to building schools. The expedetion was amazing eveery day something different, start the week gazing at leapords in the wild to bungee jumping off Victoria Falls!

What was your accommodation like? Did you feel comfortable and welcome at all times?

It varied on project we stayed within the village in a basic block. On expedition it was tents, to beautiful hostels with pools and warthogs to sleeping out under the stars! It was better then being in your own home!

Were you happy with the organisation and the staff that were responsible for you during your stay?

I felt fully supported and safe with all the staff, moreover the leaders became friends and part of the team.

Do you feel that you got value for money on the project?

Absolutely - Money can't buy that kind of experience!

Would you recommend the project to others?

Yes
