“It is safe to say that PMGY did not disappoint. The past 10 weeks have been amazing and now that my time here is almost over I can confidentially say that this experience changes your life and you as a person. These women and their kids taught me so much in such a short time. They made me realise that so many times we get so caught up in trying to accomplish big things, that we fail to notice the little things that make life so precious. They taught me how to enjoy the present and appreciate all those little moments that are actually what matter the most. They believed in my potential and motivated me to be the best version of myself every single day. I will forever be eternally grateful for this incredible opportunity that I have had.❤️”

🇱🇰 "I was worried we weren't going to get a full experience in Sri Lanka because of Covid, but I actually think we received an even better one in so many ways. With safety as his top priority, @aashpmgy made it so we could visit so many breathtaking places with virtually no one there but us. He made sure we stayed in our own little bubble while still getting to experience what the island has to offer!”

🇹🇿 "The team at the PMGY Tanzania house was so lovely, we felt at home and nothing was ever a problem. We made them aware of what we would like to do whilst we was there and they made it happen, we got the most out of our experience here thanks to the team. It felt like we was one big family and we loved doing activities in and out the house with them. They definitely made our experience so special. Huruma, Angel, Zachio, Christina was amazing. They really made us feel at home and made us have so much fun. They made everything run so smoothly and ensured we was always happy. We will definitely be back. We miss Tanzania and the team so much already.”

🦋 Hi, I’m Lisa from the Netherlands and I’m doing the childcare project in Costa Rica! The project takes place in a local kindergarten with the cutest little kids. It consists of taking care of the children, for example, dancing, playing, feeding, and drawing. I help in whatever way I can. I really enjoy the project and all the teachers are so kindhearted.

A ‘normal’ day at school for me starts at 9am in the morning with an energetic morning dance. The kids love to dance and sing! After the dance all the kids have a fruit break, we feed and clean them afterward. Then they have playtime, the older kids are going to English lessons (you can also be an English teacher some days), the younger ones are going to play outside with a lot of toys, and you play with them. At the end of the day, there is another break where you help the little kids with eating and cleaning afterward. My day ends at 1pm, so you also have the opportunity to do something after your volunteer work!

🇬🇷 "My first few days in Argostoli have been simply amazing. The local team is incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. Just in my first few days here I’ve collected data on the adult turtles in the harbor, done a sunrise beach survey, and released hatchlings into the ocean. I have already learned so much and I cannot wait for the experiences to come over these next few weeks 🥰”

Today is #WorldAnimalDay across the globe 🐊🐕🐒🐘🐢

🇮🇩 Despite the ongoing impact of the pandemic, local organisations such as Bali’s Besikalung Wildlife Sanctuary are still providing much-needed support for endangered birds and animals. By working alongside the local community the team is able to help maintain a safe haven for wildlife that are under threat from poachers and illegal wildlife traders.

With Bali looking to re-open their borders in the near future, international volunteers can look forward to continuing to support the project in Tabanan very soon.

✨ This year’s #WorldMentalHealthDay� comes at a time when our daily lives have changed considerably as a result of the pandemic. The past months have brought many challenges for communities around the world.

Investment in mental health programs at a national and international level, which have already suffered from years of chronic underfunding, is now more important than it has ever been.

🙌 Thank you to all the PMGY mental health students who have helped educate local communities and promoted health awareness worldwide!
