An Amazing Adventure
In 2020 I had the chance to participate in a short volunteering program as a Teacherโs Assistant at a primary school in Reading, England. It allowed me to take my first steps into adulthood in a truly independent way: in a foreign language on the other side of the world. The experience allowed me to discover that I enjoyed working with children and that working as a teacher was something I could see myself doing in the future. I had the opportunity to work with children of different ages (from Reception to Grade 6), so every day was different and there was always something new to do. From helping in PE classes, attending sports tournaments with the kids and learning some words in French to reading stories during snack time, each and every single moment allowed me to grow in many ways and, in turn, become more confident and open to experience new things. I discovered several things about myself in just six weeks, so I believe a volunteering program is a great way to grow while helping others.
Excellent Experience
I had a lovely experience with NVW and would highly recommend . From start to finish, they demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and a genuine commitment to excellence. James is very knowledgeable, responsive and kind.
I am extremely pleased with my experience and would not hesitate to work with NVW again in the future. If you’re looking for reliability, expertise, and exceptional adventure, NVW is the perfect choice!
Living life at its fullest while volunteering
Volunteering in Northern Ireland (UK) has expanded my world inmensively. From doing activities I’d never thought of before and trying new things and foods, to seeing marvelous views and interacting to new cultures; being in my placement has given me such a amazing experience and wider horizons. I was not expecting half of the things I’ve lived while at camp, and not only talking about the site I’ve been in but the whole country and cultures. Being here has allow me to travel way more that I could imagine, getting really close to people from around the world that I would have never gotten the chance to if I stayed at home.
The views, the moments, the people, the activities, it’s something you have to live and feel to fully understand how fulfilling it is. From the beginning with an easy process and certitude of placement, to halfway through with new skills, friends, experiences, to even becoming a new and better you.
