Description

I love travel. One of my favorite things is working in a new community, reading the local history and asking for tips regarding off the beaten path sites. After this long lockdown period I am looking forward to being away from the computer. I would like to do some language study and possibly some cooking. I am fully vaccinated. I have supervised children and adults. I pride myself on good organization. I am an attorney and have experience with human rights issues and minority groups.

This was a great experience. They took care of me from the beginning by picking me up at the airport and making sure I was happy in my own private room. The work was straight forward and afternoons off allowed me to explore Katmandu. All the staff and administration were very helpful. They tried to feed me four times a day and in the end I had to … read more

I had an excellent experience. The staff were very engaged and I learned quite a bit about microfinance. I found everyone willing to share culture and food info that made my time off that much more enjoyable. The accommodations were very good, including a very powerful air conditioning which was really necessary. Also, I must extend my special … read more

I stayed for two months, October and November 2023 and was touched by the generosity and hospitality of the staff and students. Everyone was very helpful. This is highly recommended for people who want to understand the situation in rural Cambodia and who genuinely want to provide assistance. There is plenty of space for tourism and sports … read more

Catherine was an excellent volunteer at the Hostel and Museum. She is highly energetic, positive, highly sociable, and took on a motherly role with the younger volunteers. She cooked community meals, set up game and movie nights, and just exuded nothing but positivity. She was always there for the volunteers and guest and was more than happy to … read more

I had a fabulous time as a volunteer for two months January -March 2022. It has great management and is a cozy little hostel convenient to downtown Little Rock on foot. The work was straight forward and the volunteers are very supported, for example I was picked-up and dropped off at the airport and we volunteers were taken out a couple of times. … read more

Kat was one of the easiest volunteers we have ever had. She took nothing for granted: asked lots of questions about the bhakti lifestyle, worshipped at some of the services, attended most of the yoga classes, worked hard with diligence and reverence, befriended the other volunteers, gave of herself freely, shared her life story, offered to help in … read more

Fabulous experience. I stayed for two months summer 2021. I can't thank the whole Krishna temple community enough. Volunteers you will get safe, clean and private lodging, plus all the beautiful vegetarian food you can eat in fair trade for a full morning of work. My wonderful experience included: gardening in the most productive and giant garden … read more
