Helping as a teaching volunteer in Bali
I signed up for The Mighty Roar Teaching Programme in Bali. With my sports coaching role back in the UK along with an urge to travel and see the world made me choose this programme to get the best of both worlds. This experience for me was one where I could really immerse myself in their culture and gain a wider appreciation for the world whilst also having fun and making friends and memories for life! I'd recommend teaching English in Bali with The Mighty Roar to anyone!A busy 2 weeks volunteering at Amakhala!
I decided that for my first ever solo trip I was going to do something that I wouldn’t normally get the chance to do. That’s why I chose to spend two weeks doing conservation work at Amakhala Safari in South Africa. From the moment I googled volunteering abroad and looking through all of the programmes that The Mighty Roar had to offer to stepping foot off the plane and being picked up by the local team, I couldn’t fault the Mighty Roar at all. I had the absolute time of my life and I would highly recommend The Mighty Roar!Volunteering with children in Thailand
I signed up for the Thailand childcare programme where I spent 2 weeks teaching and helping on the childcare project. The TMR pre-departure support was very professional & the team were always on hand for any & all questions we had. The project had the perfect mix of volunteering and free time, where we would explore everything Bangkok had to offer as a group. My favourite memories were mostly in the classroom where I bonded with the children, who were all so enthusiastic to learn. I would recommend this experience to anyone.Volunteering in Tanzania at 17 years old
I signed up to volunteer with the Mighty Roar on the childcare programme, in Tanzania and to anyone contemplating booking a trip with the Mighty Roar; DO IT! Being only 17 years old, my parents were obviously very worried about the prospect of me going alone for 2 weeks to a country I have never been to before. But, the pre departure support from TMR, especially the video call, was invaluable in settling their nerves (and mine).3 weeks volunteering with sea turtles in Sri Lanka
I volunteered in Sri Lanka for 3 weeks where I had the opportunity to work on the sea turtle project. Before I arrived in Sri Lanka the team were helpful in answering any questions, providing loads of info and getting all volunteers in contact with each other. My favourite moments were watching the turtles being released and spending time all together in the evenings. I would recommend this programme to everyone. I felt safe my entire trip, the food and accommodation were great and it was a lovely group of people.Helping in kindergartens in South Africa
I travelled to South Africa to volunteer in Cape Town for 3 weeks. I volunteered with the nursery children to give me an insight of a future career around safeguarding children; it was the best experience of my life. I did everything I could possibly do in Cape Town and recommend them all! I went shark swimming, elephant walking, safari swim, bungy jump, wine tasting, rugby watching, kayaking, surfing, karaoke and more. I am itching to go back!Volunteering with elephants in Thailand
I chose to volunteer for two weeks with The Mighty Roar at their elephant sanctuary in Thailand. I wanted to spend some time working closely with elephants as part of my time travelling around South-East Asia. After carrying out extensive research into ethical sanctuaries, I decided on The Mighty Roar, and I’m so glad that I did! My time there was amazing and it feels so rewarding to know that I have helped these animals in some way.Mental health volunteering in Ghana
I had the privilege of spending three weeks volunteering in Ghana on the mental health/psychology programme. I met the most wonderful people during this unforgettable trip, receiving endless amounts of kindness and generosity from the local community, hospital staff, other volunteers and The Mighty Roar team in Busua. This opportunity offered me a collection of experiences and lessons that I will take with me for the rest of my life.Marine conservation in Greece
I did the Marine Conservation in Greece, I honestly can’t even put into words how amazing it was! When I first arrived I was feeling quite anxious, but once I met the other volunteers I immediately felt at ease. Everyone was so kind and welcoming. I made life long friends and I can’t even express how much I valued my time there. I was really sad to leave, but I felt like I was leaving with an incredible experience under my belt.
