Tell us about your volunteer experience in Ladakh?
I am enjoying seeing the local village and district in harvest time when all the work is being done by hand. Its sometimes frustrating as conditions are difficult with resources like water and drugs sometimes running out.

Having the privledge to be involved with the team. Its a great group of people.
What do you like most about being a volunteer?
I just enjoy working with people and using my skills. I also think its a great opportunity to see another country and be there in a working capacity, not just as a tourist.
