Testimonials

'This placement changed the way I view the world. It has been an amazing experience, learning from another culture, and meeting the people who live there.'

Emma Stonehouse

'As a retired scientist and medical secretary, spending two weeks volunteering overseas was the perfect opportunity for me with my wife Christine. From learning how to farm God's way, to visiting slum communities and running craft activities with children, it was an experience we'll never forget.'

George Hill
