Female - Housekeeping Volunteer in London

Davies Court respondido

Hello Nahia,

It's so sad to know that you did not feel comfortable here in London doing your Volunteering job - I remember the day you suddenly left saying you were not well and missing your family so much that you have decided to go back home you looked unhappy staying with us.

About your review I am surprised at your version of events and you did not know that Housekeeping Volunteering job means to take care of the day to day running of the hostel - We have explained that cleaning is part of the task to volunteer with us and in exchange for 20 hours we provide an accommodation. The rest of your day you can work or visit the city.

You have assumed that Volunteering meant to have a salary, so you were surprised to know that was not like that - Why you did not come to speak to me about this assumption?

You have mentioned that they have asked you to clean a bathroom with a screwdriver? That would be so wrong. We have brushes and cleaning tools for the cleaning.

You have mentioned Jhonier in your review - I was happy to see that you have made a friend when you were here - You looked very unease at the beginning of your stay and your fellow volunteers’ colleagues were worried about you because they saw you a couple of time crying alone in the smoking area sitting on the bench. In the future, please ask all modalities before applying or committing for something that you are not comfortable. Be vocal and communicate in your future placement.

I wish you all the best in life -

Regards
Aliou
