āMy experience with Volunteering Solutions was great! I had an amazing time in Thailand teaching Buddhist monks English, traveling, and exploring Thai culture! The whole experience also felt safe and comfortable (if something completely out of oneās comfort zone can still be called that)! I enjoyed everything that happened to me, and am happy that I decided to go!ā- Maria K, Elephant Camp Program, Thailand
