Projects Abroad Recenzje 1330

A perfect mix of educational and fun. Five-star credit to the organizers!” ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Right from the beginning when I was researching the volunteer project for my son the team was so helpful and they continued to be throughout the whole process. My son had the most amazing experience, made life-long friends and has returned home more confident and excited about future travel and opportunities. I personally want to say a massive thank you to Sunny who was the groups chaperone on the ground. My son truly felt supported by her and her local knowledge just made the groups experience even better. Being a part of this project is something that my son will cherish and talk about for the rest of his life

I think it is really good experience to meet other country friends and go to hospital.

Projects Abroad left a lasting impression on me. Their conservation efforts are fascinating, especially the positive impact they're having on the local community through their mangrove projects. The program was well-organized, offering a nice mix of scheduled activities and opportunities to relax, whether at the beach or by the pool.

My daughter joined from Japan. She is 17 years old, and has her very own world, only few friends always, which had been making her very satisfied, but she asked me she wanted to join a volunteer group in overseas at the beginning of last autumn. As I don't have any friend who had sent their kids to overseas like this way, I found some volunteer group on internet, and tried to check detai. I needed time before I deicded "THIS!!!" because the most important thing to send my own child to overseas alone is "The group can ensure my girl's perfect safety in the country which has a bit of a reputation for being unsafe. So, I asked many questions to Japan branches of some organizations. Then , the stuff of Project Abroad branch answerd very detail even if I asked over and over again. The reason which made me to choose Project Abroad is because this organization is the one which Japdnese kids can use their rights of TOBITATE which is Japanese Government Scholarship, which means Japanese Government knows this organization is safe. And one more reason is high school volunteers' schedule in Cambodia. It was two weeks (Jan. 4th-17th) tour, so kids has one weekend. I worried how my daughter needed to spend 2 days without adults, but they had a weenend trip to Angkor Wat and around it. Kids could learn Cambodian history and enjoyed the tour with new friends from other countries. Some other reasons are following.
My daughter told me that even when volunteer kids went to the convenienced store next to the hotel they stay, 3 adult escorts took students. Kids are always safe with escorts.
Usually, roommate is from different country, but my girl's roommate wanted to stay with her friend from same high school of same country, then escorts allowed them to change roommates, and my girl shared the room with Japanes same age girl. First, I thought it's a pity because my girl lost the chance to speak English with her roommate, but my girl and her roommate can talk about entering to university next year, and could change many different kinds of informations they had. She said it was also good to share the room with the same nationalist because it makes their 2 weeks life in overseas easier as they has almost same way of thinking and habits as same nationalists. Cambodian people are vey faithful, but also have very flexible thinking, which helps kids mind very peaceful.

Lastly, I'd like to shere my daughter's experience in her words with you.
"It was a fantastic experience!!! Kids at elementary school were all so adorable, and I learnt Cambodian history and life very naturally. Project Abroad kept us so safe more than you thought, Mom!!! I noticed I needed to learn the country's history and culture before I visit them, so that I could communicate with people better, or explain surely about Japan or Japanese if they misunderstood us. Project Abroad gave me a great surprise!!!"
I really appreciate you all, Project Abroad!!!

Both of my children have done an immersion with Projects Abroad as a 16 year old (Nepal medicine in 2024 and Cambodia in 2026). They saw so much and learnt a great deal. We would highly recommend Projects Abroad. Great thing to do!!

Our 16 year old son joined the Cambodia community /childcare program for teens in January. Projects Abroad provided such great guidance, advice and support before the trip to help us feel comfortable with the decision. Then when we reached out in the first few days as he was settling in, they could not have been more responsive and kind. Our son knew no one, hasn’t travelled independently before and could not have had a better experience. The volunteering in the school was a very positive and fun experience, helped the kids all get to know eachother, the extra tours etc were great, he made lovely friends. We could not recommend this experience more, it was well priced, extremely well organised and supported in the lead up and then locally on the trip. Great self development for young people. our son wanted it to keep going!

We were very pleased with our daughter’s experience with Projects Abroad. We felt everything we read on line was followed through with during the trip. Our daughter loved her time teaching in the school in Cambodia which is why she chose this group. She felt there was good communication from the leadership.

My son had a very rewarding experience with Projects Abroad saying the program was very well organised from beginning to end. He felt safe & supported, enjoying every aspect of the day and evening programs. He learnt so much from his trip that he would not have been able to from a classroom at school. The friendships he made with likeminded teenagers from other cities & countries made his experience invaluable.

2 weeks in a school in Nanyuki, Kenya

The projects abroad team are so welcoming, enthusiastic and helpful both prior departure and upon arrival in Kenya. They assisted me with all questions and changes to my program with willingness and efficiency. The team planned activities to immense you in the Kenyan culture after school and provided you with options for what to do on the weekend. The program is so beautiful, rewarding and eye opening. The school welcomes you with wide arms and everyone is willing to share information and stories with you. It makes you feel like you can help in such a short time! The children always have a smile and just want to be in your company. If you want to volunteer choose projects abroad!!

I was able to spend a meaningful time with a meticulous schedule and generous support. Two school training sessions, a weekend trip to Siem Reap, and a hospital tour strengthened my dream of becoming a doctor.

Legit, solid, well-organized. I was volunteering on the Galapagos Islands, and everything worked very well.

I stayed in Vietnam for one week. The staff and the host family were incredibly warm and welcoming. I believe that even high school students or people visiting a foreign country for the first time can participate in the activities with peace of mind. When I take part in international training or volunteer programs again in the future, I would definitely like to use this organization again.

I was incredibly impressed by Projects Abroad. The conservation work that they are doing is so interesting and the work with the mangroves is doing so many wonders for the local area. I felt like it was structured really well with a balance of planned activities and time where we could enjoy free time by being at the beach or hanging out by the pool.

Everything about this trip was very insightful. I had a wonderful time experiencing a new culture and learning about the medical field. This trip has helped me gain a deeper understanding of the field of medicine that interests me the most, confirming that the field I initially wanted to pursue is one I am willing to undertake and capable of handling.
I would definitely recommend going on this trip :)!

Project Abroad war eine sehr freundliche und unterstützende Organisation hinsichtlich Projekt vor Ort, aber auch allen private Ausflüge und Anliegen. Diese Organisation ist zwar teuer, aber bin dankbar es gemacht zu haben und bereue kein Euro.

Our son, age 18, went to Vietnam (4 weeks) and Cambodia (3 weeks) with the Projects Abroad Gap Year Program in Fall 2025, for part of his gap year between high school and college. As a parent, I was very impressed and reassured by how quickly and clearly the Projects Abroad staff (specifically Riyaad Herman, who also met with us by zoom) responded to my (many) questions before the trip. The myprojectsabroad.com interface was very thorough and helpful with regards to travel arrangements, itinerary, etc etc. As for the trip itself, it was a small group, he had an incredible time and raved about not just the food, the learning, and experiences, but also the in-country guide Vinh (for Vietnam) and how much he learned about history, politics etc which are very interesting to him. I had the sense that the participants had a pretty good balance between organized activities but also had a chance to be on their own in some of the days and evenings, which I think was good for learning about international travel and independence. From his description and photos I think the accommodations were above par as well. He also was glad he added the Cambodia portion: Cambodia was more different from Vietnam than he expected and thinking about what and why that is led to some interesting insights. He loved the food, the beaches, Angor Wat, and pretty much every experience in both countries. I would really recommend this gap year program, I just wish they offered it for my age group....

My two weeks of volunteering on the Older Person's Conservation and Community project in the Galapagos wasn't long enough! No sooner have you started to find your way around and feel like you're doing something useful, than you have to leave!

That said, it was a well organised project and although we had to work quite hard, we did also get the opportunity to see some wonderful wildlife and experience working with members of the good-natured San Cristobal community.

It was a great experience, but we did still have to pay quite a lot for the privilege.

My experience with Projects Aboard was fabulous. I went to San Cristobal in the Galapagos Islands. I did environmental and teaching. It was one of the best experiences of my life. I am planning another trip.

What made my experience truly great was the combination of meaningful professional work, cultural immersion, and strong support throughout the entire journey. Projects Abroad did an excellent job creating a placement that genuinely aligned with my interests and career goals, and I appreciated how intentional they were about making sure volunteers feel safe, informed, and valued.

The company is doing very well in facilitating real impact placements rather than surface-level volunteer tasks. I felt trusted with substantial responsibilities at my internship, and the staff at the firm were welcoming, supportive, and invested in helping me learn. Projects Abroad also did a great job with logistics and communication — from the pre-departure guidance to airport pickup, accommodation, and check-in messages, I always felt guided and cared for.

The balance between structured support and personal independence made this experience empowering, exciting, and unforgettable. I left feeling more confident, connected, and inspired.
