Helping out in the center for bilingual children

If you are willing to sleep in the living room with someone working, to open the fridge and finding 90% of food 8/5 months overdue, to work at least 1 or 2 hours more than agreed everyday, to do SIMULTANEOUSLY:housekeeping, handyman,gardening,cleaning,postal carrier,doorperson,serving meals,painting,kids watching,then it could be nice for you. Or if you are fluent in Russian you can teach and it could make it easier. If you, like me,read in their profile that you could go with your English or basic Russian, your experience will be bad as mine probably.But giving overdue food is unforgivable.

Dear Raquel, you have written in your application that you have Russian teaching experience and are willing to work with kids. When you arrived, we figured out that you technically don’t speak any Russian, so teaching in the project which we picked for you was not possible.
All the rest - your tasks, working hours, weekends - was discussed upfront, so I am very surprised to figure out now that it actually didn’t fit.
I think that if something doesn’t fit, people talk about that.
I used to think that our communication worked well.
After you disappeared and never came back 5 minutes before you were supposed to help on the summer festival (with kids, as you wished), the whole picture changed a bit, but still… I am quite surprised so see this review, especially something about the wrong food in the fridge, as the owners of the flat live there and eat together with volunteers. You should have better written that the toilet is outside, it would have surprised me less :D good luck and please don’t write things in your application which are not truth, it will help you next time to find a host which will fit better.
PS: pity to say that, but this is our first bad experience with Worldpackers, hopefully the last one.

It was our first experience and we loved it. We received a warm welcome and everyone we worked was amazing. Unfortunately, we didn't speak German or Russian, so it was difficult to communicate with the kids but, besides that, all the tasks that they gave us were easy to do. We are really satisfied with the outcome and we recommend this experience to everyone who loves kids, and new experiences.

It was an amazing experience working at the kids center. The job was great, everyday I was able to make and even learn something different. I had the flexibility to choose the period I wanted to work, and I had the opportunity of getting to know all over Hannover while doing the activities. The people there was very nice and warm, I felt welcomed and the food was incredible! I recommend the school center to everyone who wants to live and entirely new experience and wants to witness people who do an excellent work with children. Thank you Alex and everyone at the school center!

Il was a real pleasure to me to have done my first volunteer experience abroad at the school. It is a super nice organisation caring about children's development and relationships between employees and volunteers. They are having a good organisation and at same time an open family atmosphere. I loved having conversations and enjoyed a fun time with each of them. I had a nice time at my host's place and should mention the delicious food ! I will certainly go back to see them again. I highly recommend this place ! Whatever your profile is you will always be welcome in this place.
