I loved the kids, what you expect out of volunteering your time and so much more. You get a family with the iSpiice staff and amazing bonds with the ...
Volunteering for iSpiice was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. From the moment you step out of the airport everything is looked after and the staff at iSpiice make sure you are comfortable every step of the way. Volunteering with the kids and the community classes was an immensely ...

The Indian women and children I worked with were absolutely beautiful, they were all so warm and welcoming and I feel in just two ...
