One of the most rewarding experiences of my life. After spending a beautiful month teaching yoga, I don't find enough words to express how happy I am to to support this incredible kind of projects. All the love you received from the children here is invaluable. The teachers and the staff treat me with respect and helped me during the process, everyone was so friendly and kind. You basically have the children all by yourself so is up to you to create a fun class with a learning purpose. The volunteers have their own house and lots of food. I will miss the kids so much, very hard to say goodbye.

Sri Nhat is a truly inspiring individual who masterfully blends yoga, outdoor activities, and a compassionate focus on education. His unique approach fosters not just physical wellness but also emotional and mental growth, making his sessions profoundly impactful. Sri Nhat's warmth, wisdom, and genuine passion for helping others make him an exceptional host and teacher. I wholeheartedly recommend volunteering or collaborating with him to anyone seeking a meaningful and transformative experience.

What an amazing experience this was! We would like to thank everyone so much for the positive vibes, the care and dedication that everyone showed, especially to Anish, Maya, Nisha, teachers and amazing students. Also we'd like to thank the other volunteers as well, for the great company and food! What a great place, good healthy food, fresh air, surrounded by nature and sounds of the jungle, fireflies at night, especially for our first volunteering ever. In the end, words won't do justice, so I'll let the experience speak for for itself. Just go for it! We, recommend long term.

Alexander's dedication, patience, and creativity made him an invaluable member of our community. His ability to connect with students of different ages and inspire them in various areas of learning was truly commendable. We highly recommend Alexander to any future host, confident that he will bring the same positive energy and dedication to their projects.

Volunteering at the 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.
