Staying with Sylvester and his family was truly wonderful. They are such kind and humble people, and they treat you like one of their own. They prepared traditional meals for me and taught me a lot about their culture. My room was comfortable and lovely.
Furthermore, Sylvester's project is growing, and any help in building his farm is welcome. I wish him all the best with his project because he is a noble and hardworking man who dedicates himself greatly to his family and his community. It was a truly wonderful experience.

Sylvester is an extremely friendly and genuine person and I felt really good staying at his place. The work was fair and well-organized, and he was truly interested in what I was doing, in how people live in my country, and in my culture.. He's a great host, always kind and open-minded, and genuinely curious about his guests 🔝 I also want to thank him and his wife from the bottom of my heart for their warm hospitality 🖤 All the best from David!! highly recommended 💯
