I have just completed your workcamp project in Ayacucho, Peru. I had an excellent time, and it was a very good experience. I want to thank you for offering such a high quality workcamp, and I look forward to participating in more of your workcamps in the future.      Kristina /Canada/

 

Visiting a new country and being welcomed by its people whilst sharing such a unique and positive experience is an opportunity not to be turned down. Live for the moment, take up the challenge and go!     Katriana /UK/

The idea of International Workcamp is such a brilliant idea and have been proven successful through our experiences. Many cultures were shared among new friends throughout these workcamps. Much flexibility in building the programs of workcamps allows volunteers to fully contribute their skills and talents.     Wing Man /Hong Kong/

 
 

When time went on during the camp, relations got stronger and stronger. The volunteers were really integrated with the children. We had a close group where nobody was an outsider. This was very special.     Marcel /Holland/

It’s always good to meet new people, to become more self-confident and open up. I think workcamps are really the best way to spend the summer. You meet people from all over the world and at the same time get to know a country from a very different than the touristic view. And you also visit countries where you maybe normally wouldn’t spend your holidays.     Christina /Germany/

 

Very enjoyable. I am very sad to leave. The whole experience has been great. Many different people within the group. I feel we all got on well and learnt things from each other. I have learnt many things about myself and life in general.     Stephanie /US/

I had a great experience and the workcamp gave me the opportunity to visit many places I wouldn't have been to if I had just passed through as a tourist. Almost everyone I talked to was really friendly and the countryside is really beautiful. I was very glad to see that the work we had done will have some positive effect.     
Alexander /Canada/

 
 

I feel this workcamp was an extremely rewarding and worthwhile experience. The group were fantastic people and made the whole experience even better than I could have imagined. I feel privileged to have been a member of this workcamp. A fantastic opportunity to travel and learn, not to be missed !!!     Aisling /Ireland/

I felt good about making a difference, and also about doing something for others. I feel that I’ve received more from the local people than what I’ve given, and perhaps next time I go on a workcamp, I will be more prepared to “give”. It was quite a valuable experience. I hope a lot of people participate in workcamps.     Joo Hyun /Korea/

 
 

I've had a great two weeks and I look forward to doing more volunteer work in the future. All the locals are extremely friendly and are always willing to help out. I would recommend this workcamp to any one and I am a little sad that it is coming to an end. This has been one of my best life experiences. It has given me a positive outlook towards life.     Andrew /USA/

I wanted to go somewhere different from Denmark, to experience life in another kind of society. Meeting a new society is always a good thing. To see how things are done on other places gives a new view of the world. It has been the greatest experience! I've enjoyed my stay and I'll go again!     Hanne /Denmark/

 

I have had a fantastic 2 weeks with very welcoming, generous and fun-loving people and feel privileged to have been part of their lives. I’ve also enjoyed spending time with like-minded people from other countries on this project, and being here has made me feel very lucky for what I’ve got and the opportunities I have.     Amy /UK/

I learned much more than what I expected before I came here. It certainly affected my personality and career choice in the future. Workcamp is one thing you should definitely experience in your life time. You will see great sights, meet great people and have great experience.     Asami /Japan/

 
 

Getting different experiences in contact with people helps to develop yourself as a human being. Every intercultural exchange makes from foreigners friends and you forget the borders separating us all. Even if you don't speak the same language there is always a possibility for communication. Just try!     Martin /Slovakia/

It was an amazing experience for me. I loved working with the kids, even though at times it got really hard. It has made me more aware of the needs of neglected children and has even made me think of going into some sort of child welfare work/studies when I return home.     Tamara /Australia/

 

It has really changed my perspectives - I have seen something that no one else I know has seen, and have been positively affected.     Kathleen /USA/

I would definitely recommend volunteering to anyone. It is a fantastic opportunity to help others, while learning a lot about yourself. I have met a lot of new fascinating friends from around the world. I will definitely be volunteering again.     Vikki /UK/

 
 

The work is useful in order to know better each other, to share impressions and feelings in a content of work. It was a good experience. I've got a lot of friends and I always felt like in a big family, everyone was friendly in this residence. I've learned that youths from everywhere have the same needs and feelings, human relationships are the same all over the world.     Felicia /Italy/

I think I had very precious experience and I could improve myself through this experience.     Joji /Japan/

 
 

I have realized how much you are actually able to do together if you have a goal and don't give up about it. I have had a great time and will definitely go to a workcamp next year!     Johanna /Sweden/

Don't hesitate to visit a country whose culture and language you don't understand: your experience will be better than expected, as every day you'll see your progress in understanding people and the culture, and you'll be glad to visit exotic and marvelous places.     Rut /Spain/

 
 

Workcamps are a brilliant idea. You get to really experience the culture of the country you are in and there are many young people who are willing to do voluntary work for good causes. It’s great being part of an international group of volunteers as well. It makes for a good time when you’re not at work.     Rowan /US/

In general I prefer workcamps to normal touristic holidays, because you get closer to culture and people. Work was very useful, both painting and playing with children. I was happy to see that what we did is important. To be able to help is always good for someone's personality.     Rasmus /Denmark/

 

The most interesting part of camps such as this is the chance to work in a group, with purpose. Usually people in some developed countries forget how to live together, how to work together, how to share. Camps like that give one the chance to look beyond himself.    
Apostolos /Greece/

A workcamp is the most amazing way to have a unique experience that will give you new skills and insights. It’s a fantastic way to travel and learn. It helps you to live life to the full, as every day is full of amazing experiences, and every day counts.     Anne /UK/

 
 

I expected to find good friends and I managed. I really enjoyed spending time together with the whole group and I think that it is very important for the group to do everything together.     Olga /Russia/

It’s a very interesting project to know other country, its culture. It has been a great experience for me and it has been great for my professional future. There are no words to explain this experience. The only way to understand it is living it.     Lorenzo /Spain/

 

No matter which culture or situation, we are all the same. The more you put in, the more you received regarding friendship and confidence.     Anna /UK/

I think these workcamps are great idea and I hope they will continue for a long time!     Su Yen /Malaysia/

 
 

A workcamp is certainly one of the best ways to discover the people of foreign countries. For me that was a unique experience. Try it.     Henry /France/

I think it’s not the work alone that made this workcamp significant. For me the most important thing was that there was a foreign group in the park, which showed that preserving nature is something very important. So the mixture of doing something for the park and being in the park is the real important thing.     Till /Germany/

 
 

I’d really recommend this to a person wanting to spend some of their time with a set purpose. There is plenty to be done whatever your “skills”, even if you have none. Anyone with patience, enthusiasm and an ability to keep the mind fresh could really benefit from such a workcamp.     Alexander /UK/
