"I would absolutely recommend TravelAid to a friend. It was a life-changing and perspective-altering experience. I only wish I could have been there longer. If given the opportunity and the resources, I would go out there for at least a year: there is so much good work to do, and so much of it is being done at Temi." TravelAid Volunteer, Georgia 2010
"I felt truly-valued in Nepal. The teachers at the school constantly thanked my team for everything we did. Nothing was ever too much trouble for them" TravelAid Volunteer, Nepal 2008
"The teachers and headmaster of Noonkodin were extremely welcoming and kind and made us feel completely at home. I really enjoyed setting up a tuition programme where I was able to work one on one with individual members of classes who were struggling." TravelAid Volunteer, Tanzania, 2010
"Yes I would recommend TravelAid. It was just a great bonding experience with other Oxford and Cambridge students and also amazing to start friendships with the Cambodian interns. However, make sure you know exactly what your project involves and contact the partner charity in advance so that expectations are aligned." TravelAid Volunteer, Cambodia 2008
"TravelAid Ecuador was a good fun and good learning experience. Children are great even if they can be frustrating at times. Also, it was really good way to get to know a place - completely different to just backpacking." TravelAid Volunteer, Ecuador 2010
"It was a worthwhile experience. I enjoyed the project and felt like I was making a difference. I made great friends with like-minded people in my team. Working for a charity such as TravelAid is much cheaper than going away with some sort of gap year company and you know you are helping where it is needed." TravelAid Volunteer, China 2010
"Spending time with the youth group in the school was something that I found most enjoyable, as being able to spend time talking with the children and having them share their experiences was truly special and it was clear to see that they, too, enjoyed being able to share these things with us." TravelAid Volunteer, El Salvador 2010
