Chitwan National Park
My son and I took a holiday and volunteered at the Chitwan National Park, Nepal which was a wonderful experience. Projects Abroad were brilliant. Their communication, planning and organising were fantastic, from the start of our inquiry into booking, our arrival at the airport in Nepal, to our departure. Our assigned guides even assisted us with ideas and bookings for our weekends when we were not volunteering. I would highly recommend Projects Abroad if you are looking for a holiday or experience abroad. We look forward to our next experience with Projects Abroad in the future.

Professional, organized, and helpful at every step
I trusted Projects Abroad to provide an amazing experience for me and my teenage daughter in the Amazon jungle, and they did not let us down! Everything was extremely well-organized and we were fully supported every step of the way. Strongly recommend.

Hi Larissa,
Thank you so much for the glowing review. It’s wonderful to hear that your trip to the Peruvian Amazon was such a success for both you and your daughter. It’s great to know you felt supported and well taken care of every step of the way.

Peruvian Adventure!
My 16-year-old son went to Peru for four weeks with Projects Abroad. I was nervous to let him go but he was taken care of every step of the way. His host family was very kind and helpful and the Projects Abroad staff did an amazing job. He got to serve in the community and experience a lot of fun things too. I would happily recommend Projects Abroad to anyone!

Dear Jessica,
Thank you so much for your kind words! We completely understand the nerves that come with sending a 16-year-old across the world, so it is incredibly rewarding to hear that you felt supported every step of the way. We are thrilled that Hudson had such a meaningful time serving the community and that he bonded so well with his host family. Thank you for the recommendation, and we hope to see Hudson on another project in the future!

Unbelievably well organized trips for (mature) teens
Unbelievably well organized trips for (mature) teens. Our daughter traveled with Projects Abroad two summers in a row (South America, Asia). Projects Abroad kept us well informed, and we knew her to be well-supported in the field. The experiences were truly life-changing.

Great learning experience
My 16-year old learned a lot during her volunteering in Kenya. More than she ever would at school or in her own "rich" environment. Projects abroad is a very good organization to thrust my child to.

My son's experience with Projects Abroad exceeded our expectations
My son's experience with Projects Abroad exceeded our expectations. He attended the Medical Internship for Teens in Cusco, Peru, last summer. In the research phase of looking for a summer program, I found the representatives at Projects Abroad to be extraordinarily helpful with answering all of my nit-picky questions about the experience. They were thoughtful, patient, clear communicators. After registering my son, we were guided through the process of preparing for his trip, using the online portal (which provides a lot of detailed information) and communicating with representatives via phone calls and emails. We were well taken care of throughout. My son came back from the Peru with a multitude of stories that he still shares today. He spoke Spanish a ton. He gained a great deal of knowledge from the different workshops and clinics, positively influencing his interest in the medical world. He liked his host mother, who was very enthusiastic and friendly. He relished the new experiences and couldn't get enough of them--with Machu Picchu being a major highlight of the trip. He liked the other teens on the program, who came from other parts of the U.S. He loved it so much that we are sending him on another Projects Abroad program this summer--to the Philippines!

Our daughter's experience in Peru was exactly what he wanted - to get out her comfort zone and experience a new culture and the many differences. We also believe that this experience materially bolstered her college applications and complemented her other experiences in the field of health care.

Thank you so much for sharing this, Ian.
It’s wonderful to hear that Liv’s time in Peru was exactly what she hoped for. Stepping outside her comfort zone and immersing herself in a new culture is such an important part of personal and professional growth. We’re especially pleased to hear that her medical internship not only complemented her existing healthcare experience, but also meaningfully strengthened her college applications. That’s a fantastic outcome and a real testament to the commitment she showed during her time abroad.
Thank you again for placing your trust in Projects Abroad.

An amazing educational, cultural and worldly experience for my daughter.

Amazing Experience in Ghana
My daughter, who had just finished her sophomore year did two weeks in Ghana at a hospital.
She absolutely loved her experience. She had real responsibilities at the hospital, in different wards and roles.
Great exposure to the doctors and nurses and patients.
We were really impressed by Project Abroad as they were amazing giving us great information, followed up and made it easier to accept that our daughter would be ok. This was the first time our daughter travelled abroad by herself.
The whole process from applying to flights to pick up in Ghana and housing was seamless.
I strongly endorse Project Abroad!

Spain medical internship for high school students
My daughter had a wonderful time on the program.
She learned so much and formed some great friendships along the way. I was initially hesitant to send her overseas on her own, but she has returned home with a real sense of maturity and a strong drive to pursue both medicine and future travel.
Some of her highlights included stitching on pig legs and performing ultrasounds, which she found incredibly valuable and engaging.
Although her host didn’t speak English, this actually helped her to learn the language more quickly and build confidence in communicating.
I would recommend this program to anyone considering it.

Well done Projects Abroad team…
Communication from Projects Abroad team was excellent. We received regular emails advising what was required, or, if we needed questions answered, we had direct contact with a team member. Our daughter's time in Cambodia was extremely well managed. Visiting Angor Wat was a highlight. The time spent in the hospital certainly has encouraged our daughter to aim for a career in the medical field.
