Descripción

Hi!!!☺️

My name is Monique (she/her), I am a 23 year-old Dutch girl. I graduated in International Studies (with a specialisation in South and Southeast Asia) last spring and have decided to volunteer at social developmental/ agricultural projects and schools in South Asia.

I love learning about other cultures and languages. I am interested in learning Hindi, Mandarin, Indonesian, Malaysian, Korean, German and Tamil. But, I am always interested in learning other languages. Additionally, I love to share idea, perspectives and approaches to life. I really like to experience new ways of life. Especially, ways that are close to nature. I am trying my best to limit my carbon footprint and the amount of waste I create, if I can even say that having flown to Asia.

I also really enjoy being outside and I cannot get enough of mountains, rivers, waterfalls and forests. Additionally, I play volleyball, football, I love to read, talk and dance (I would really love to learn foreign dances).

Previously, I have volunteered at a village for intellectual disabled guys in India, a Burmese refugee school in Thailand, a Chinese daycare in Malaysia, a hostel and olive orchard in Portugal. In the Netherlands, I have worked in a livestock farm, elderly care, many restaurants, a variety of help desks, festivals and nightclubs.

As of right now, I will be interning at a dive centre in Kerala until February 2027. After that I would love to find a long-term (6-12 months) project, with the ability to give me a longer visa, I could really connect with. But, I would also still be interested in shorter projects as well.

My two and a half months were absolutely incredible. While, most volunteers stay at the main centre, I chose to help in Vanur where the village for girls is being constructed. There, I lived with a small group of guys and mostly worked on the farm.

I will always cherish the connections I made with the guys in Vanur as well as at the main … read more

Monique is a very cheerful, easy going and independent person. We enjoyed the time spent with her. During the work exchange, I was not feeling well for a few days and she was really helpful. I was very lucky to have her around to take care of the kids and house chores. We also talked about culture, education, travel experience, dreams and even … read more

I volunteered with teacher Goh for a week and a half and had a great experience. As this is a small and very personal daycare, the guidance of the children is also very hands-on. For the majority of the time I assisted only one, two or three kids at once. I helped them primarily with their English homework, I have a very basic understanding of … read more

I volunteered here for one month and had the best experience I could've had. Firstly, all the teachers are incredible. They are very excited to connect with the volunteers, during lunch and even outside of classes. I worked with the Middle school children and really felt like I was able to contribute somewhat to the lessons, even if I only … read more
