Testimonials

I am having a wonderful experience working with RCDP as my friend and I prepare to do a health care volunteer trip this December and January in India. Our e-mails are always responded to promptly and politely. So far, I would highly recommend this program.

Samantha Leigh Wronski

I had a great time during the 2-week language and culture program. The language classes were helpful in introducing us to some basic Hindi words and phrases ("Achaa" is one word we have used a lot!) I'm very glad that we had some culture classes before we begin sight seeing, as they really helped me to appreciate the beautiful monuments that we visited.

Danica Lam

My experience in Ecuador has been very pleasant, my volunteering experience has been very rewarding and the children are lovely but cheeky!
