About the experience in: Kottayam, India
Italy
Volunteering at Poornodaya School exceeded all my expectations. The children were lovely, eager to learn and made every lesson a joy. Tailoring lessons to different age groups was a rewarding challenge. The vegan meals were surprisingly delicious, and the flexibility with shopping added freshness to our meals. The simple accommodation was a comfortable retreat after busy days. But what truly made it exceptional was the warm community of dedicated volunteers and supportive staff. My time there was truly unforgettable.

Deborah's dedication and support at Poornodaya Vidyanikethan have been invaluable, especially for the kindergarten students. Her commitment to providing individualised attention to children in need sets her apart, fostering a nurturing environment where every child feels valued and supported. Throughout her volunteer period, Deborah's Italian culture shines through, enriching the educational experience with its unique perspectives and practices. Her genuine care and cultural influence undoubtedly leave a lasting, positive impact on both the students and the Poornodaya community.

Volunteering at Poornodaya exceeded my expectations. Anish and Maya have incorporated volunteer teachers into the vision they have for the school, so I felt as if my work made a real impact on the children. The teaching schedule is flexible - they listen to volunteer preference when assigning us to different students, class ages, and subjects. The volunteer accommodations are adequate, with personal bedrooms, a small common space, a kitchen, a bathroom, and a nice front-porch area. On the weekends, I was able to take trips around Kerala. The school food is delicious too!

Max Freeman is a remarkable individual whose commitment to holistic education and innovative teaching methods has left an enduring impression on Poornodaya Vidyanikethan. His Story Board and Mapping activities have become integral components of our educational approach, enhancing the overall learning experience for our students. I wholeheartedly recommend Max for any future projects, as his passion, creativity, and dedication make him an invaluable asset to any team. Worldpackers would be fortunate to have such an exceptional volunteer as part of its global community.

I had the most amazing time volunteering in Poornodaya. The work hours were fair, and the students simply the best. I appreciated that us volunteers had freedom to use our own talents and interests and free hands to teach the students what we wanted to share. I taught yoga, meditation and arts and crafts. The whole school is beautiful and the volunteer house local but spacious and comfortable. Anish and the whole family are extremely welcoming, and you feel at home and part of the family. The local teachers are also very welcoming, though there were sometimes language barrier challenges.

She brought a unique blend of creativity, passion, and dedication, leaving a positive and lasting impact on our students and our project as a whole. We wholeheartedly recommend Julia to any future host, and we would be honoured to welcome her back anytime.

My experience as a volunteer in poornodaya lived up to my expectations. I had never teach children before, the whole team (teacher, director, etc.) was there to help me do my daily tasks better. The house they provide us with is clean and spacious.

Nauzet Miguel's organizational skills are commendable as well. He efficiently plans and executes the sessions, ensuring that the necessary equipment and materials are readily available. He also maintains clear communication with the school administration, teachers, and parents. In summary, the all-rounder yoga volunteer Nauzet at our primary school has proven to be an invaluable asset to our community. His exceptional skills, dedication, and genuine care for the well-being of our students have had a profound impact. We wholeheartedly recommend Nauzet Miguel as a volunteer to any educational institution seeking to enhance the physical, mental, and emotional development of their students through the practice of yoga.
