My experience with worldPackers was truly incredible and life-changing. From the airport pickup to my daily activities, I felt welcomed and supported by the team and the local community. Volunteering in education allowed me to learn, immerse myself in a new culture, and build meaningful connections. I also experienced my first safari and visited a nearby Caribbean island. I returned home a different person and highly recommend this organization. I hope to return someday to reunite with everyone who made this journey unforgettable.

One of the most meaningful experiences of my life! Tanzania, Chamazi, Samaritans. I felt completely safe and well cared for, with a great accommodation and delicious food. But what truly makes this place so special is its people. Being part of the organization life with the children was absolute magic. They are joyful, eager to learn, and radiate pure love that touches your soul. Huge thanks to the incredible team — Emmanuel, Jackson, Mfaume, Ibrahim, Sauda, Rama , and above all, the wonderful kids. They are the true heart of this community. Step out of your comfort zone, it's beyond worth it.

Patricia, thank you so much for these beautiful words. ❤️ Your review truly touched my heart and means so much to me and the whole Samaritan family.

It was a real pleasure having you with us. From the moment you arrived, you brought so much kindness, positive energy, and love to the school. Seeing you connect with the children, spend time with them, and make them smile was very special. I’m sure they will remember you for a long time. 🥰

I spent 3 months here as a volunteer. From the very first moment to the very last Emmanuel and Jackson organized everything perfectly. They were available 24/7 and went out of their way to ensure our comfort. The meals were always fresh and hot, and the food was excellent. The accommodations were comfortable. Everyone welcomed us very warmly. The teachers were kind and helpful. And the children were adorable! I absolutely recommend it because it's an experience of a lifetime. I am so grateful that I was able to participate in this program.

Life-changing experience! Truly recommend. Fast replies and very helpful with providing proper information about the project in early stages to prepare the trip. Accommodation and food was over expectation. Weekend activities were well organized and perfectly executed. The children are lovely and made it hard to leave. the organization hours felt a bit flexible at times and sometimes it was unclear what our tasks as volunteers were. Communication about the different schools in Chamazi could improve but they were great at improving from our feedback. Thank you Emmanuel, Jackson, Mfaume and everyone else!

Thank you so much for taking the time to share this beautiful and thoughtful review. We’re truly happy to hear that your experience was life-changing and that you felt well supported from the early planning stages through your stay with us.

We’re especially glad you enjoyed the accommodation, food, weekend activities, and most importantly the time spent with the children. They really do have a special way of touching hearts, and we know how hard it is to say goodbye.
