Help our community and school by volunteering

Doing volunteering at the the school in kidatu was a great experience! It was my first solo travel and absolutely worth it. Jema is a great man, he does everything he can to support the children and help their education. the children are lovely, you need to be patient with them. you are free to create the classes the way you want, i thought them mainly the tenses in english. I also brought the school supplies so if you go there it's great to bring the school equipment because it's very expensive in tansania. I also brought balloons for the children which they absolutely adored.

Jema was great in providing me with everything i needed to be successful in my mission of providing clean and safe drinking water to the the school and community. He had me staying at the the school in a room with a bed and chair plus a private bathroom. He provided food, water and other things i needed which i paid for to make my stay more comfortable. Rachel was a huge plus living on the the school grounds. She made sure food was on time, clothes were washed, and our space stayed clean. They were absolutely nice people and i appreciate everything they did for us while we were there.

I have done a lot of volunteering, but I have not met a host that is as kind and as generous as Jemma. I enjoyed getting to know some of the other people in the village. The children were amazing. They were hungry to learn. It could be challenging because of lack of materials. This can be solved if you carry some paper and a couple of pencils with you. It also helps if you plan your lessons. Thank you for Priska for taking care of me as well. You are the best!

I've been thinking about what to write since this experience had everything. Of course, I want to thank Jema and his family for making me feel at home. Regarding the the school, there are a lot of needs, but the hostel project that Frankie started is going great, the kids are fun and some are eager to learn while others just want to have fun and play all day. I think this experience will make you value everything a lot more. For me, it was an honor to be the first Mexican at the the school. The only 2 things I will not miss are the mosquitoes and the ugali (Sorry Tanzania ๐Ÿ˜‚)

My experience volunteering at the the school has been blissful that I extended my stay for another week, because I feel like the month flew by real quick and needed more time to spend with the kids and to also improve my Swahili a little bit. Thank you Jema for the lovely opportunity to volunteer at the the school.

We had a incredible experience ! Full of adventures, safari, hiking, waterfalls... Children are full of happiness and love. Jema helped us a lot, we feel very confortable (miss you shemeji.) About the school, students have to learn a lot so you can help them ! They need books, pens, clothes... You need to buy your own water and data, (cheap), and there is Turkish toilets (no toilet paper)! You must try Mama Fadhila's samosas (neighbor), delicious ! Ps : I started a paint project in the classes to bring them a better environnement, I hope next volonteers can finish this project ! Asante Sana!

Jema and his family have become my home away from home! I felt so welcomed and comfortable, was well taken care of by mama P, loved my days at the the school (even if they are a little longer than stated), and have made friends and connections for life. I have had such incredible experiences at the school, visiting waterfalls, visiting Masai and visiting Mikumi national park! I was nervous about travelling solo for the first time, but it has been an invaluable experience. I will be returning as soon as I can!!

I loved staying with Jema's family in Kidatu. Everyone is really kind and welcoming. They also took great care of me when I was sick! Okay, you should know that you might have to share a bed with another volunteer and also, you have to buy your own water. But besides that everything is great! I enjoyed staying here so much, that I even extended my time here on 2 more weeks. The kids in the school are awesome and Jema took us/me (earlier we were 4 volunteers, later it was only me)to the Massai, we went on a safari,... He even managed to bring me to a college of his friend. - Asante sana!

Everything went beyond expectations. As it being my first time in Africa i was nervous about language barrier but I felt so welcomed and loved by the host and family. Mama P makes great dishes, host is able to accommodate for your needs or interests. The little boys in the house love tagging along on adventures. the the school is just the right size to be able to know most of the kids. I will surely be back. Asante sana Magesa and family

My experience with St the the school was one of a kind. In the beginning I was uncomfortable with teaching..being it's not my profession but as time went on I grew to love being with the kids and doing many activities with them that suited my personality and there's. It's a beautiful experience especially for us coming from the west. The lovely welcoming African culture humbles and relaxes your spirit. Big thanks to jema for hosting me. May st the the school continue to grow thrive! ONE LOVE ONE AFRICA โค๏ธ
