My First International Volunteer Experience
Volunteering with Rise Above marked an incredible introduction to international service, offering a meaningful opportunity to engage with the local community and gain insight into the daily lives of its people.I am sincerely grateful to world packers and to our host, Adi, for making this experience possible.The education and fun experiences provided to each child and parents is truly inspiring.I will always carry with me the memories of the children whose warmth and resilience truly touched my heart.

It was such a nice experience; I really connected with the kids and people there. It's so good to contribute and help the children, getting to know them better. You also learn a lot about how things work in the community and more about local culture. I had a room with AC and comfortable bed.There were 3 daily meals, and they made sure to give me many vegetarian options (which I wasn't expecting!) You are free to play with the kids at any time, and you have break times, so you can volunteer for the scheduled hours or do extra, it's up to you. 1 week is not enough, stay longer. I miss you all!!!

I stayed only a week but I experienced so much. Overall, it was wonderful and I'd recommend it to anyone interested.

I was at the Community center, located by a slum area. In the mornings, I had class with pre school kids and then played with the kids around for the rest of the day. I also joined a food sharing activity.

The kids are absoutely lovely and as you spend time there you get to learn about their reality and yours. It makes you think.

However, know that this is ofc not a hotel and that it's not stricly 15 hours. It's intense but meaningful.

Feel free to ask me anything.

I spent a week volunteering at Rise Above centre, an humbling and unforgettable experience for me.
The main task was teaching the younger kids, 3 hours per day (Mon-Thu) with their mums assisting. The rest of the day was dedicated to all the ones who came in and out from the centre: kids of all ages, coming from the slum. They also guided us once through it, happy and proud to show us their little world: it was an eye-opening reality check.
I can't recommend this experience enough: be ready to adapt and to go with an open heart, the kid's smiles are contagious.

"I can't describe my happiness for having been a volunteer at Rise Above. I’m committed and available to the community for any questions, but I’ll already share some info; The hosts are extremely helpful, the room is comfortable, the meals are AMAZING, and the best part, the activities are an immense joy! The schedule are diverse n flexible. In the last days, I was able to help kids with their homeworks,in the distribution of clothes, toys, and meals, and even help out on a day of dental care. Oh, and of course, I played a LOT too 😂😂. I just have to be grateful, thanks for everything 💙”
