I spent 3 months or so living with the family of an indigenous peoples called the Lepchas in North-East India. This was an incredible experience and one I remember fondly. The host family I stayed with were so kind, welcoming and generous. I taught the children of the village English, which was a good challenge and very enjoyable - the children were so keen to learn and really appreciate what you can offer them. The scenery here is spectacular and very rural - the nearest market is an hour walk over the hills. Perfect for anyone looking for something completely different and away from the usual comforts of home! Africa and Asia Venture offer a very special opportunity to live and work in a unique place and become part of an indigenous community. You can give plenty back while taking away a lot yourself from this experience!

Recently returning from my Volunteering trip to Msambweni in Kenya I have had time to reflect on what an amazing experience Ihad. It was so heart warming being able to help the community and teaching at Msambweni primary school. Being able to see the improvements of the students in my class but also talking to the teachers on ways I have been taught in England. The location of the House if perfect, it is right on the coast and only a short walk away from the local market where you will find the worlds best mangos! The locals are such lovely warming individuals that really help make your time special and make you feel extremely wanted amongst their local community. AV were extremely helpful throughout and prior to the whole trip and allowed me a stress free time away which has really helped me changed myself for the better.
The volunteering trip to Kenya was absolutely incredible. Made amazing friends and only wish I could've stayed longer. Highly recommend for people that enjoy working with children and want to do something out of their comfort zone. Also on the coast which doesn't hurt so there's plenty of time to relax and have fun on the weekends as well.
Volunteering in Kenya with AV in the summer of 2016 was an amazing experience. I got to meet and great people from across the globe and the local community were very friendly and welcoming. AV were incredibly well organised in preparing the volunteers for what to expect and what to bring. The UK and Kenya office were very efficient, making the whole process very simple and easy for the volunteers, in addition to keeping families at home updated with our progress. The projects and extra activities available were amazing. I can not speak highly enough of our guide Charles. He knew how to get the most out of us and made sure we had as great an experience as possible. The more you put into this fantastic experience, the more you get out.
In 2014 I had a life changing trip to Uganda for 3 months with 4 others. Becoming an AV was one of the best decisions i’ve made and still years on myself and others on my trip stay in touch. AV are such a communicative company who made the trip such less daunting for myself, who at the time was 17. Uganda is an amazing and beautiful country with the most friendly people. I feel extremely privileged to have had the experience and I plan to go back in the future!
