“By traveling to China as a volunteer, I was able to meet people and experience the culture in a way that I otherwise would not have. I volunteered for two charities for the mentally disabled and also in an orphanage school. The personal and professional connections with the staff, program participants and children impacted my life in such a positive way, it’s difficult to convey. I would recommend this program to anyone wanting a meaningful and exciting opportunity to change the way you experience your own life.”
- Marcy Shaarda (USA)

“This is an excellent program that is flexible and adapts to the needs of requests of WLS volunteers. Melissa was not only a friendly and helpful coordinator who helped me navigate around Beijing, she also became a good friend. My volunteer experience was made even more enjoyable because of her and her assistance throughout my placement has been outstanding. A memorable and humbling experience . I am so glad that I volunteered on this program and I would strongly encourage interested participants to go for it. Thank you”

“The program was amazing! The accommodations are in a great location and everything was organized perfectly. I had absolutely no problem with anything from beginning to end. My time with the children at the orphanage school is unforgettable. An experience of a lifetime!
Melissa was fantastic! I couldn't have asked for a better coordinator. She remembered every details to make my stay comfortable and without incident. She is informative, understanding, patient and kind. She was available to assist when needed and open to any questions I had, big or small. Melissa was able to accommodate me and my last minute plans without hesitation. She made me feel comfortable in my new surroundings by pointing out all the nearby conveniences during a walk around the neighborhood. The city tour and welcome lunch were great. And my placement at the orphanage school was perfect. It was sad to leave and I look forward to my next adventure with WLS.”
