I have had an amazing 9 months with VBB as a data analyst. I was able to see the impact of my work and knew that it helped many growing children around the world. VBB has a wonderful mission with many passionate people behind them to support their goal forwards. I would highly recommend volunteering with them.

I encourage you to visit their library, talk to the children, and see the magic firsthand. They are deserving of your support, whether it's through volunteering, donations, or simply spreading the word about their amazing work. They build and operate libraris around the world, they give opportunity for Underprivileged Youth. It´s little but mighty!!!

They have never reached out to me just to say...'thank you for your time'. This is not the first time with the listing NGOs, but it is kinda disrespectful anyway. They take your time and demand a bunch of things as they would pay for your services; however, in the end, they act unprofessionally.

VBB is an amazing place to volunteer because its mission is truly authentic and if you have a passion for education, VBB will leave you more than impressed. I would definitely ask a friend to volunteer in the future.
