The project was far beyond what I had expected. I spent three weeks in the department of cardiology of Somdech Phra Pinklao Hospital, Bangkok. On the first day I received a thorough schedule of what I was going to see and learn in the next weeks. The best part was the team: they gave me a kind and hearty welcome and everyone was very nice and willing to share with me everything they could about both cardiology and Thai culture. The clinical part of the internship was in English and, as I don't come from an English speaking country, I had to get familiar with a different terminology, which was challenging for the first few days, but at the same time it was most useful thing I got from this internship for my future medical career and it was what I am most thankful for.

Living in such a wonderful and different city like Bangkok is truly a life changing experience. I enthusiastically welcomed every peculiarity of the city and Thai culture, which is often curious. I needed a great open mindness to live this experience, but since diversity and uniqueness are two of the thing I love the most, it wasn't difficult for Bangkok and Thai culture to find a place among my best and beloved memories

I have just recently returned from Mombasa, Kenya, where I was volunteer teaching through Love Volunteers. This experience has forever changed my life for the better. My contact at Love Volunteers was very helpful and extremely quick to respond to any inquiries. The local partner team in Mombasa were amazing and really added to the overall experience. The staff and the Kenyan people are so lovely and welcoming. I did not encounter any overly stressful situations. And lastly, the students - I was in awe of them more and more each day. I have extensive experience working with youth and have never before witnessed such love, purity, and innocence. I did not hear one complaint while I was there and they are so appreciative of even you just being there with them. They are so respectful of their teachers and are extremely studious. They also all have such wonderful personalities and really are beautiful souls. I whole heartedly recommend taking part in one of these programs. Words really cannot describe it!

I don’t know where to start from. But in a nutshell, this was the best experience and the best month i’ve ever had in my entire life.
I arrived to Cherkasy on December the first, it was snowing. Too cold and new people, new language, however, i felt home in a very short period. The people here are great and friendly. The local staff in the orphanages are friendly and respectful as well. My coordinator Alexander was absolutely helpful and made it really easy for me to accomplish my volunteering work.
About the kids, nothing can describe how lovely they are, they are so amazing, they participate in every activity i prepare and made me feel really happy. I brought tears to my eye in my last day, whey came and asked me not to cry :(
Also they ask me to come back and made my promise to do so, and i will visit one day.

This month had changes my life, i realised how simple things can do for these kids.
Thanks for every one in Cherkasy, thanks Alexander and thanks Love Volunteers.
