General Impression
Overall Rating: / 10
I thoroughly enjoyed my time in Bolivia with Love Volunteers and their local partner. They are a fantastic organization; so welcoming, professional, and they really care for their volunteers and the children they work with.During my time there, I worked with the local staff to improve their volunteer program, fundraising and other operations. Although I was office based, I still got out to the two sites in which the project works in and ran a few projects and taught the children how to play Frisbee. Before leaving, I could already see what positive difference I have made with how the local team works with volunteers, and it will continue to get better and better!
Since being in Bolivia with Love Volunteers and working with their local team, I have seen how much it has improved in just a short space of time. The local team are one of the most organized NGOs working in Cochabamba and they know how to get international volunteering “right” and put their volunteers where they are most useful.
If you are thinking about volunteering in Bolivia, I would say do it! Whatever your interests and your passions, there are projects for you to get involved with and make a real impact. The team are open to new ideas and would welcome you with open arms. You won’t forget it!
