Plan My Gap Year
Volunteer in Asia with Plan My Gap Year
Plan My Gap Year was born out of a frustration with the large price tag associated with structured volunteer programmes. Based on their own experience, they recognise the importance of doing something meaningful with your time abroad but understand how difficult, and potentially expensive, this can be to organise.
