Testimonials
The "Aldea Infantil Sagrada Familia," a home for boys who have been physically and/or morally abandoned, is very grateful to Questel and all of its employees in Peru for the donation of computers which the boys use daily for study. The computers have been especially valuable during this difficult year during which classes have been virtual due to COVID-19. Thank you, and blessings from the heart.
In June 2020, I cut and donated 40cm of my hair to a German Cancer Foundation for Children.
This organization collects hair to make wigs for children, that have lost their own hair due to cancer. Questel has shared the project in order to raise awareness for this cause. I am currently growing my hair to cut it on the 2-year anniversary of my first haircut and hope to inspire other’s to do the same!
The world is full of vulnerable communities and people in need. Questel’s active participation in social projects helps improve their quality of life by contributing to the coverage of their basic needs and joy. As a longtime volunteer for different foundations and NGOs, I know that good sponsorship is the #1 driver of project success and I am happy to know that my home for the past 8+ years is doing a great job!
We are incredibly grateful to Questel for this assistance, which is critical to support more humanitarian work around the globe.
I've had the opportunity to volunteer time to the organization Translators Without Borders, which offers translation and interpretation services to other non-profit agencies.
Questel is a corporate sponsor of TWB! So any team members who want to give their time and language talent to this cause are encouraged to do so.
I have been volunteering in several local orphanages and shelters, and I can say that this experience definitely enriches my life. There is no doubt that helping others provides a sense of purpose and that happiness is found in helping others. Sagrada Familia is the home of more than 27 boys who were physically and/or morally abandoned. As a corporate sponsor of “Aldea Sagrada Familia,” Questel is making a positive impact in Arequipa – Peru.
Many parts of India struggle with scarcity of water, and people travel long distances to carry water for their daily use. Moreover, the available water is not purified, and many people have fallen ill due to water-borne diseases. No one can understand the pain of pregnant ladies carrying pots on their heads while searching for water. However, the support and cooperation of Questel with the “Reviving Traditional Sources of Water” service project in the Chittai village of Uttarakhand has brought back the smile on the faces of these ladies. The Mahila Haat team and local villagers are very thankful for all of Questel’s service in bringing happiness to the lives of the villagers.
