a universal language that can bring people together,
no matter
what their origin, background, religious beliefs
or economic status” - Kofi

"World at Play differs from most other charities or gap-year opportunities: you won’t be building class rooms or teaching English, but in the short period of time that you will spend with each one of the groups you will be giving them something unique that is often neglected and is crucial to the kids’ development; the gift of play. Your attention and encouragement will go far in aiding less-fortunate children, and they will remember it forever."

"World at Play has changed my life. It has changed the way I look at things now, and a little of my personality as well. Spending time, and playing games with kids in orphanages makes you realise how many people need to be helped around the world and how much you can do to change their lives without giving that much. With World at Play, you get to know amazing people from all over the world, you get put into difficult situations and that makes you learn a bit more about yourself. The benefits they get from you and the benefits you get from them are huge!"
