I had an incredible experience in 2011 working for 4 months in the Western Highlands of Kenya near Kitale at Crane Academy. It was challenging at times but immensely worthwhile. The trip was extremely well organised and I always felt I could contact someone should I have ever felt unsafe or unwell. Following the teaching part of our trip a small group of us travelled down the Eastern coast of Kenya for about 5-6 weeks - An amazing trip with some formidable memories.
I had such a great time with AV - and met some guys I hope will be friends for life. And we did something good for the community rather than just playing around like so many gap year programs...
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 ive 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!
I couldn't be happier with my decision to spend 5 weeks in South Africa through AV in the summer of 2015. We lived with a wonderful local family and spent our days in the local primary school, helping out with English classes and extra curricular activities. AV were excellent throughout the entire process and provided great pre-trip advice, support whilst we were there and then were keen to take on our feedback once we had a landed back in the UK. You will also make friends for life!
