Olivia was an enthusiastic and dedicated volunteer during her time at Poornodaya. She actively participated in various initiatives and played a key role as one of the Mistresses of Ceremonies for one of our core events, showcasing her confidence and eloquence. Additionally, her efforts in video creation added value to our projects, demonstrating her creativity and technical skills. Olivia's contributions were meaningful, and we value the energy and dedication she brought to Poornodaya.

I enjoyed my time at the school Vidyanijethan spending time with the kids, the teachers & the other volunteer Asia. It was Summer Camp, so no specific classes, just 10-15 kids of varying ages to keep occupied, while also helping them learn in a fun manner. A bit daunting initially being expected to host the class but i soon settled in. Anish & Maya were fantastic & welcoming & sorted out any issues we had. Good fun!!

Lois is truly a GEM — not just for Poornodaya, but for any project she becomes part of. Her dedication, integrity, and heart for service are deeply appreciated. We are grateful for the time she spent with us and look forward to the continued light she will bring wherever she serves next.

One of the most rewarding experiences of my life. After spending a beautiful month teaching yoga, I don't find enough words to express how happy I am to to support this incredible kind of projects. All the love you received from the children here is invaluable. The teachers and the staff treat me with respect and helped me during the process, everyone was so friendly and kind. You basically have the children all by yourself so is up to you to create a fun class with a learning purpose. The volunteers have their own house and lots of food. I will miss the kids so much, very hard to say goodbye.

Sri Nhat is a truly inspiring individual who masterfully blends yoga, outdoor activities, and a compassionate focus on education. His unique approach fosters not just physical wellness but also emotional and mental growth, making his sessions profoundly impactful. Sri Nhat's warmth, wisdom, and genuine passion for helping others make him an exceptional host and teacher. I wholeheartedly recommend volunteering or collaborating with him to anyone seeking a meaningful and transformative experience.

What an amazing experience this was! We would like to thank everyone so much for the positive vibes, the care and dedication that everyone showed, especially to Anish, Maya, Nisha, teachers and amazing students. Also we'd like to thank the other volunteers as well, for the great company and food! What a great place, good healthy food, fresh air, surrounded by nature and sounds of the jungle, fireflies at night, especially for our first volunteering ever. In the end, words won't do justice, so I'll let the experience speak for for itself. Just go for it! We, recommend long term.
