I had the wonderful time in the the school.It was a true window into life in a Zambian Village which would have been hard to find without this opportunity. The people, esp the kids are lovely and keen to share their life.You have flexibility with what you want to do in the but as a the school that requires ongoing help it is encouraged for you to take initiative.As a teacher I spent a lot of time in class but was also helping with online admin when possible.The stay is basic but cozy & safe and many of the kids will hang around for games &dinner after the school. Throw yourself into it & you'll learn so much.

Eveything and everyone involved in our 3 month stay at the the school have made the experience undoubtedly worthwhile. From the staffs consideration with our proposals regarding teaching, drawing and other iniciatives to the energetic and loving children that form the the school. This experience maintains the african essence whilst staying in a protected and well prepared accomodation. If you are planning on volunteering and need answers to some of your doubts, I would love to help if you contact me.

Volunteering here for three months was truly life-changing. The accommodation was well-equipped and comfortable, with a cozy bedroom, mosquito net, outdoor shower and toilet, and our own kitchen and dining area. the the school staff were incredibly supportive, and many became good friends. But the true heart of our experience was the children — full of energy, kindness, and a passion for learning. We taught them maths, English, and technology, and spent time together after the school playing football and sharing daily life. the the school has become a second home to us and we can't wait to return.

We loved our time in Simonga, Edwin and all of the members of staff were very friendly and helpful making us feel right at home. All the children were amazing and very eager to learn. Edwin gave us a lot of freedom to do what we would like and he was very happy in anyway we could help. We taught grades 5,6,7 in maths English and science and also built a chicken coop. A lot of the children would stay back after the school and would all want to play games socialize with you. The accommodation was the best we've had while volunteering around Africa we had our own room and a separate area for cooking
