Joining this volunteer program definitely was a unique experience and I could recommend it to anyone who likes to experience a holiday destination from another point of view.

I really grew and developed from this experience at the same time as having some of the most exciting times of my life!

Are you looking for an experience you will never ever forget in your life? Then you should definitely consider volunteering with Gnarly Troop. So far, this was the best decision in my life.

Now, back home, the best memories that I keep in my head are my new friends, unique places, and kind people from Thailand. But the highlight memory is definitely the legacy that I gave to the kids, and even bigger was the legacy that they gave to me.

It was an excellent location to learn about the +/- 1100 species present in the Red Sea. Together with Leras, a marine biologist, I received her help in analyzing the photographic material (pictures) from my UW camera. Initially I was only interested in fish species, though after a while I started to do some coral identification as well. In the Red Sea this is pretty much amazing!

There were so many great take -away experiences from my volunteer time at the Hai Bar that it is difficult to name just a few. It by far exceeded my expectations

I was able to help the nurses in their daily rounds; giving injections and medications and setting up IV's. All of these skills were learned right at the placement site. Our assistance was really beneficial to the nurses in their daily jobs.

I have nothing but positive things to say about this program- it was truly the adventure of a lifetime! I can’t wait to go back to the beautiful country, and meet up and do more traveling with the new friends I have made. A huge thank you to Gnarly Troop for helping me find this project, and to the wonderful people in Gansbaai who have given me bright and unique memories!

Sophie's Experience Teaching Buddhist Monks in Sri Lanka

Volunteer in Sri Lanka - Teaching English to Buddhist Monks

#Asia,#Sri Lanka,#Teach English Abroad

My favourite part was definitely interacting with the amazing, young monks. The children were incredibly sweet and funny and they always put a smile on my face. At the same time, though, they were dedicated and focused during our lessons. Our classes were the perfect combination of smiles, laughter and learning.

Niklas' Experience Teaching in Kenya

Me and two of the kids

#Africa,#Kenya,#Teach English Abroad,#Volunteer with Children

I really enjoyed the time I had in Kenya, playing with the kids (their favorite game was that I lifted them as high as I can) as well as teaching them the letters of the alphabet or numbers...All in all, I had three of the best weeks ever. I met amazing people and enjoyed every day in kindergarten a lot!
