Don’t hesitate, book a trip NOW I’ve been on 2 GIVE trips now. I did all of Southeast Asia and 6 months later was back on a plane going to Tanzania. GIVE is the best volunteer travel organization I’ve ever come across and I can’t recommend them enough. I feel 100% safe with them at all times and their staff are some of the most amazing people I’ve ever met. The Tanzania trip that I just completed was such an amazing, life changing experience that I will never forget. I taught the Kairo locals English and helped with construction projects to build them a school. The people of Kairo are so inspiring and they ignited a sense of purpose in me. This trip opened my eyes, pushed me out of my comfort zone, and taught me a lot about myself and my capabilities. If you’re thinking about doing a trip with GIVE, don’t hesitate!! Book one now, it’s worth every penny. You will NEVER get an experience like the one you will get with GIVE.

The best trip ever This was definitely the best trip I’ve ever been on. It’s much more personal than traveling as a regular tourist. The unforgettable connections you make with the people in the communities you volunteer in make you never want to leave. I’ve learned many lifelong lessons that I will carry on with me for the rest of my life. I will definitely be volunteering again with GIVE.

My GIVE trip to Laos was unforgettable My GIVE trip to Laos was unforgettable. From teaching the kids of Sop Chem English and cleaning/planting in the permaculture lot to learning about the culture of Laos, it was two weeks I’ll never forget. It was so eye opening to experience such a different way of life from that which is lived in the States. I gained a new perspective on self-respect and had an incredible time embarking on new adventures every day. I can’t wait for my future GIVE trips!

Indescribable It is to hard to put into words how amazing this trip was! The guides who truly cared about each and every one of us, and individually facilitated our own self-growth. The countless amazing activities that were organized for us to enjoy, and fit so perfectly into the trip. I felt that we were truly culturally immersed, and there was a lot of mutual respect between us and the communities we were involved in. It was so easy to know that everything was arranged for us, including the most delicious food! It allowed me to really engage myself in the work and fun that we were doing. Meeting like-minded people from all over the world was such a special and beautiful experience.

Go GIVE! I had the best experience with GIVE! I decided to go with GIVE volunteers for my first trip out of the country without my parents and I am so glad I did. Not only did I get to experience parts of Thailand I would not have been able to otherwise, but I got to do so without ever worrying about where I was staying, how I was going to get there or what I was going to eat. This trip truly changed my life. I got to experience Thai culture and make connections with kids who barely spoke english. The guides were incredible and I was continually surprised at how intentional each and every part of the trip was. I could not recommend this organization more - I am already saving for my next trip! Also, I have gotten to meet more give people as they come to recruit at my school and everyone is just as kind and fun as my guides in Thailand. Love love love Give!!!
