It was a wonderful experience 😍 Thank you to Linda and Rae for their hospitality and trust; communication was very smooth. The volunteer house is spacious and clean, and I had a private room. As for the meals, everything was perfect. I recommend this place 100%. A chance to connect and discover new things is guaranteed.

Overall I enjoyed my stay. Accommodation is large and nice; as a vegan, groceries were bought for me and I cooked. Their work and mission are admirable and important, I just wish I could have helped more and made a difference. Often there was little to do, especially week 1 alone, and after the 2nd volunteer left most activities were cancelled, sometimes at the very last minute. When she was there, we did lots: island tour (self-paid), preschool, animal shelter, after-school club. A clear plan for quiet periods would help. Thanks for your kindness! Recommendable, but come during the busy time.

The summer camp was enjoyable, and we completed a variety of tasks. However, I was expecting to be doing other work besides the summer camp, e.g. culinary work in the restaurant, etc. Also, the website said we'd eat out in the restaurant, but we got groceries instead. I was expecting more excursions to be organised for us, but we didn't do many. I also left early and was unable to get any form of refund. The trip was fun, and I'm glad I did it; I'd have just appreciated some more transparency or perhaps clearer communication.

Aaron helped with Summer Camp, including field trips. We facilitated a waterfall trip and arranged an island tour with a local guide. Groceries were provided. Our website was regrettably outdated about the restaurant welcome meal; it had been rented out due to financial hardship, so his meal was provided at Container Park. Aaron chose to leave early to stay with family. As EG was still able to fulfil his placement, a refund for his voluntary early departure was not considered appropriate.

I had an amazing time volunteering at Elvira's the project in Grenada. I LOVED working with the children, and i miss them everyday. Getting to know them was definitely the highlight of my entire trip. The entire team at Elvira's the project was so amazing and welcoming, special thanks to Kiera and Rae for being my side the entire trip. The entire team treated me like family. Grenada was my first ever trip internationally alone, and it was definitely the perfect place for me to be. All the people are incredibly kind and the culture is beautiful. I love it there and cannot wait to visit!!

Elvira's the project is an incredible project. The hosts Linda and Rachael are helpful, fun, considerate and down to earth. Each day spent at Elvira's the project was different and provided a solid insight into life in Grenada. I loved my time here and I am excited to come back again in the future. There are lots of ways to get involved outside of camp times. The facilities are excellent and I had plenty of time to explore the island. I arrived at Elvira's the project without knowing anyone and I left with friends for life! Thanks!
