Please could someone give me some advice on gapyear companies. I want to volunteer in Africa, and don't know which organisation to choose.....

Hello Robtaylor,

I haven't been in Africa yet but i volunteered with this gap year company called Projects Abroad in Mexico and Nepal, the experience was amazing so now im planing to volunteer in Africa again with Projects Abroad.

When i started looking for gap year companies i found many websites, but what caught my attention about Projects Abroad was the amount of volunteers they send every year, so i search in depth and found their volunteer stories very helpful, i called them and they actually offered me to put me in contact with an ex-volunteer who did a conservation project in Mexico, it was very helpful and i ended up applying with them twice and hopefully the third time will be Africa, they have projects in Ghana, Togo, Senegal, Ethiopia and South Africa. Well check their website, you might find what you need there:

Good luck!
