My time at the project was very positive. I learnt a lot about what the organisation does to help the community, from children to teenagers, and making sure they stay safe and have a place to call home. The team, and the locals I met were the friendliest and liveliest people with so much care and love for one another. I had an amazing experience.

My experience at syi was absolutely amazing! i felt welcomed from the first moment. the people were the friendliest and most helpful, and everyone was focused on making a true impact on the kids' lives. if i ever needed help with anything, i could ask one of the managers, and they would take care of it as soon as possible. also, the kids at the organization were absolutely lovely, and i will miss all of them, hoping to be back soon.

SYI is such an AMAZING organisation! From the administration to the teen/adult volunteer and the kids. They really care about their community and their volunteers. They listen to what is in need and improve on it. If you're looking to have some impact in a community and also have an AWESOME time with the locals, this is for you.

This has been an absolutely amazing experience and it passed by so quick!!! We did 2 weeks and in those 2 weeks we got to see how amazing this organization is and how much it does for its community in so many different ways. Its truly a safe place for the kids to feel safe, to grow and to learn new things. The kids are absolutely incredible and the team of volunteers work really hard to put everything together. There is no doubt in my mind that I will be back. Thank you for welcoming us in the SYI family!
