An incredible experience. I was welcomed like family and had an unforgettable month with Emma, Lydia, and the boys. School was amazing and I was involved and told about every step of the construction. I was made to feel very comfortable in the house and community

My time at the organization was amazing. The hosts Emma and Lydia always made sure I enjoyed my time there and felt like a part of the family. The love I received from the children at school is priceless. I can't wait to see their dreams come true.

My time at the organization has shown me love and kindness in a way that I have never experienced before. Emma and Lydia are truly amazing and inspiring people that u feel extremely lucky to have met. The school is full of smiles and just the most amazing welcome from all the kids and teachers. The family at home has now become my family too. Three weeks was not enough time and I'm most definitely going back next year! Would recommend to anyone that wants to be loved by the kids and make a true impact in their lives! Xx
