"While it may be tempting to provide a fish, teaching to fish is also tremendously needed even though it will take significant effort and time. We should seek step change, but it is important to embrace incremental success and maintain one’s commitment to capacity building, having a bit of faith and trust in the process."

“I volunteered in India to contribute to quality education with my photographic storytelling skills. I have never been happier! I loved the willingness to learn of the youth. I will continue to share my stories about the amazing organization I was matched with through YouSocial Volunteer spreading the word through my friends, family & colleagues”

"I was fortunate to be part of the Nepal project.  Whether to share one’s knowledge, challenge thinking, lend a different cultural perspective or simply “lifting someone up” who has had a difficult experience … the YouSocial Volunteer team and NGO staff are building great capacity for the most unprivileged areas of Nepal!"

"This experience has impacted me in many different ways. I am more inspired and connected than ever to my life’s mission, and so proud of the tremendous talent and dedication of volunteers, YouSocial Volunteer staff and local team members I met. I see more clearly than ever how impactful our diversity can be"

“Make it for the local people, make it for the organisation, believe in their ideas, believe in their vision. Listen, listen, listen. If you listen well, you will see that they have the solution. Your role is to help them make it a reality”

"One word keeps popping up to describe India: Vibrant. However, in the four weeks I’ve volunteered, I have other words that I think fit better: Diverse, Extreme, Resilient. They find much happiness in situations you or I might crumble beneath. They value their human relationships and the community more than money or things, and that sustains them. They really do make lemonade out of the lemons!"
