Review Time
I stayed in Vietnam for one week. The staff and the host family were incredibly warm and welcoming. I believe that even high school students or people visiting a foreign country for the first time can participate in the activities with peace of mind. When I take part in international training or volunteer programs again in the future, I would definitely like to use this organization again.
2 weeks in a school in Nanyuki, KenyaThe projects abroad team are so welcoming, enthusiastic and helpful both prior departure and upon arrival in Kenya. They assisted me with all questions and changes to my program with willingness and efficiency. The team planned activities to immense you in the Kenyan culture after school and provided you with options for what to do on the weekend. The program is so beautiful, rewarding and eye opening. The school welcomes you with wide arms and everyone is willing to share information and stories with you. It makes you feel like you can help in such a short time! The children always have a smile and just want to be in your company. If you want to volunteer choose projects abroad!!
My daughter joined from Japan. She is 17 years old, and has her very own world, only few friends always, which had been making her very satisfied, but she asked me she wanted to join a volunteer group in overseas at the beginning of last autumn. As I don't have any friend who had sent their kids to overseas like this way, I found some volunteer group on internet, and tried to check detai. I needed time before I deicded "THIS!!!" because the most important thing to send my own child to overseas alone is "The group can ensure my girl's perfect safety in the country which has a bit of a reputation for being unsafe. So, I asked many questions to Japan branches of some organizations. Then , the stuff of Project Abroad branch answerd very detail even if I asked over and over again. The reason which made me to choose Project Abroad is because this organization is the one which Japdnese kids can use their rights of TOBITATE which is Japanese Government Scholarship, which means Japanese Government knows this organization is safe. And one more reason is high school volunteers' schedule in Cambodia. It was two weeks (Jan. 4th-17th) tour, so kids has one weekend. I worried how my daughter needed to spend 2 days without adults, but they had a weenend trip to Angkor Wat and around it. Kids could learn Cambodian history and enjoyed the tour with new friends from other countries. Some other reasons are following.My daughter told me that even when volunteer kids went to the convenienced store next to the hotel they stay, 3 adult escorts took students. Kids are always safe with escorts. Usually, roommate is from different country, but my girl's roommate wanted to stay with her friend from same high school of same country, then escorts allowed them to change roommates, and my girl shared the room with Japanes same age girl. First, I thought it's a pity because my girl lost the chance to speak English with her roommate, but my girl and her roommate can talk about entering to university next year, and could change many different kinds of informations they had. She said it was also good to share the room with the same nationalist because it makes their 2 weeks life in overseas easier as they has almost same way of thinking and habits as same nationalists. Cambodian people are vey faithful, but also have very flexible thinking, which helps kids mind very peaceful.Lastly, I'd like to shere my daughter's experience in her words with you. "It was a fantastic experience!!! Kids at elementary school were all so adorable, and I learnt Cambodian history and life very naturally. Project Abroad kept us so safe more than you thought, Mom!!! I noticed I needed to learn the country's history and culture before I visit them, so that I could communicate with people better, or explain surely about Japan or Japanese if they misunderstood us. Project Abroad gave me a great surprise!!!" I really appreciate you all, Project Abroad!!!
Our 16 year old son joined the Cambodia community /childcare program for teens in January. Projects Abroad provided such great guidance, advice and support before the trip to help us feel comfortable with the decision. Then when we reached out in the first few days as he was settling in, they could not have been more responsive and kind. Our son knew no one, hasn’t travelled independently before and could not have had a better experience. The volunteering in the school was a very positive and fun experience, helped the kids all get to know eachother, the extra tours etc were great, he made lovely friends. We could not recommend this experience more, it was well priced, extremely well organised and supported in the lead up and then locally on the trip. Great self development for young people. our son wanted it to keep going!
I was incredibly impressed by Projects Abroad. The conservation work that they are doing is so interesting and the work with the mangroves is doing so many wonders for the local area. I felt like it was structured really well with a balance of planned activities and time where we could enjoy free time by being at the beach or hanging out by the pool.
Everything about this trip was very insightful. I had a wonderful time experiencing a new culture and learning about the medical field. This trip has helped me gain a deeper understanding of the field of medicine that interests me the most, confirming that the field I initially wanted to pursue is one I am willing to undertake and capable of handling. I would definitely recommend going on this trip :)!
Communication from Projects Abroad team was excellent. We received regular emails advising what was required, or, if we needed questions answered, we had direct contact with a team member. Our daughter's time in Cambodia was extremely well managed. Visiting Angor Wat was a highlight. The time spent in the hospital certainly has encouraged our daughter to aim for a career in the medical field.
My daughter had a wonderful time on the program.She learned so much and formed some great friendships along the way. I was initially hesitant to send her overseas on her own, but she has returned home with a real sense of maturity and a strong drive to pursue both medicine and future travel.Some of her highlights included stitching on pig legs and performing ultrasounds, which she found incredibly valuable and engaging.Although her host didn’t speak English, this actually helped her to learn the language more quickly and build confidence in communicating.I would recommend this program to anyone considering it.
