Client Testimonials

“Thanks for all the arrangement for the volunteering program in Beijing. I absolutely had a fantastic time there....and Melissa was definitely very accommodating and helpful in every way she could. I will not forget my time in Beijing although it was for only for 10 days. The kids were really a joy to be with, and I cherished my every moment spent with them, at both the school and the orphanage. It has definitely been a very rewarding experience in my life and I hope to be able to repeat this experience again in the near future in the other parts of the globe :) Very good opportunity for volunteer to see/understand first-hand the lives of less privileged children in developing countries and to be able to contribute our time and effort to make them happy. My coordinator tried to assist in all aspects during the volunteer period. Excellent work.”

“This is an excellent way of visiting somewhere totally different that doesn't cost as much as a tour group and it really does add meaning to a person's version by working with people that are less fortunate. Lifelong friends made, money well spend..”
- John Pan (Canada)

“This program is excellent. I felt like I had a chance to appreciate and understand the Chinese culture. Beijing is beautiful and the people are so kind. My coordinator Melissa is sharp, fun and flexible. She is very helpful and took care of my every need with grace. Her exceptional knowledge of the area made me feel so very safe in China. I will tell everyone I know to give WLS a try. I will be volunteering with WLS in the future and look forward to my next trip. Now after this experience, I could never to back to regular travel to see the world. Regular tourist travel would feel empty. This volunteer experience and /or meaningful travel has illuminated my heart.”
