NVW had taken me on the most amazing adventure of my life I have made life time friends and family and core memories I’ll never stop taking about. I am so grateful and will also recommend NVW Spain to everyone.

This placement is more then just teaching language but share your own culture and learning others cultures and lifestyles

Hello everyone.

My name is Yesith Ramuditha and I am from Sri Lanka. I would like to start by saying do not stop dreaming because one day you will be living in your own dream. I had a very big dream to go to another country and experience different cultures. Right now I am living my dream because of New Venture Worldwide. Thanks to NVW, I got an opportunity that opened doors for me to see the world. I volunteered in a Spanish school for 1 year. My experience was amazing, I traveled all over Spain and made new friends. Throughout every process from legal to family matters, NVW stood by me. I would call them my strong arm. The members of the organization gave me impeccable help with everything. I should especially thank Joshua Golbatt for helping me in every way possible. I will always be grateful to NWV. If it was not for them, it would not have been a great success of me getting this amazing opportunity.

“I’m living my dreams”

Volunteering in Spain was an experience of a lifetime. Every aspect, from the family, the school, the community, and the location was perfect for me. I volunteered in a school just north of Valencia, in a small town called Alboraya, and from the very first moment they welcomed my friends and I like family.

I made countless new friendships, and every day was a new adventure in this school, surrounded by the most amazing people. Having joined the program as a 17-year-old, I found my time in Spain especially transformative to who I am. It is incredibly difficult to put into words, however on the other side of it now, it gives you a new definition of the word home, having found a second family, and a second community on the other side of the world.

I will never forget my time there, and I am incredibly grateful to all the people who helped make it into what it was. My biggest advice to people joining the program is that you get out what you put in, and when you give all your energy and love, it will forever change who you are.

Thank you.

Totara Sprigns is actually the best place to grow, spiritually and mentally. People at Totara Springs are amazing ,the environment is wonderful. Also, if you like nature this is the perfect place to be at. Now talking about New Zealand, for me New Zeland is the perfect country to be at if you are an outdoorsy person, because there are so many places to explore that I don’t think one year is enough to see all the beauties that New Zealand can offer.

In conclusion, I recommend this experience if you are not sure about what to study, because traveling and meeting new cultures and new people. It definitely opens your mind and your way of seeing life.

Volunteering as a language assistant in Spain is an incredibly rewarding experience. I had the opportunity to work with students of all ages, from elementary school to high school, helping them improve their English language skills.

The teachers and staff at the school were welcoming and supportive, and I felt like a valued member of the team from day one. I was given the freedom to design my own activities, allowing me to tailor my teaching to the specific needs and interests of the students.

One of the highlights of my experience was being able to immerse myself in Spanish culture and language outside of the classroom. I had the chance to explore the vibrant city of Valencia and Vitoria, try delicious local cuisine, and make lifelong friends with fellow volunteers and locals.

Overall, volunteering as a language assistant in Spain is a truly enriching experience that allowed me to make a positive impact on the lives of students while also gaining valuable teaching experience and cultural insights. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to broaden their horizons and make a difference in the world.
