We took part in various workshops such as a TB and Malaria, Tropical Diseases, a HIV/AIDS workshop and a Surgical Workshop (where we even sutured chickens!). These workshops gave us an interesting insight into how hospitals in less developed countries work and how these diseases seriously affect the population.

Our trip to Costa Rica was truly the trip of lifetime particularly when considering the entirely new experiences which we had and the wide variety of people who we met.

The impact of the hard work and the constant interacting with excited children was made so much easier by the wonderful Projects Abroad. They organised lots of events to help us relax while simultaneously helping us adjust to Ghanaian life.

It was only by working abroad that the realisation dawned upon me: through volunteering, we all have the power to change someone’s life, even in the smallest possible way. It may not seem like the work we do matters at the time, but it has a good impact on those who we are helping.

My trip to Nepal was amazing. The country is beautiful and really different to the UK. The work we did was actually making a difference and the experience is something I will never forget.

When I take groups of Girl Guides abroad, I want to give them the opportunity to visit countries that are outside their comfort zone, and not the ones they would normally go to on family holidays. Mongolia ticked all of these boxes.

Why choose a Learning Service programme?

Putting the learning in Learning Service

Why are we calling it learning service and not service learning? 

For us, learning service emphasizes gaining knowledge and understanding from local communities.  This means you are able to contribute effectively, rather than viewing volunteer travel as a simple opportunity to serve. 

Our approach shifts the focus from short-term, ‘feel-good’ projects to long-term personal and global impact, fostering true global citizenship through immersive learning experiences. Your students will leave with the essential skills needed for success in our interconnected world.

Rich cultural exploration

Journey through multiple regions, engaging deeply with each community beyond surface-level tourism.

Broaden perspectives

Through workshops with locals, your students will be exposed to different cultures and perspectives.

Genuine impact

In partnership with host communities, students will observe, understand, and collaborate on locally-led solutions.

Foster ethical awareness

Students will understand ethical considerations within a global context, building responsibility and integrity.

Fully supported

Our in-country staff handle logistics, risk management, and safety, allowing teachers to focus on the experience.
