I spent 16 days in the project under the guidance of Joshua, Ruth, Mercy, Anthony and other members of SYI. It's hard to describe how amazing this trip was for me, the best way to sum it up is to just go yourself ! The organisation does an unlimited number of different activities and initiatives for the local people and children. The impact they make to their community truly is amazing. I felt so welcomed and looked after in every sense the whole time I spent in the project. The people made the experience for me and made it very difficult when it came time to leave. I will definatly be returning !

The organisation is very well organised with a daily structure along with them being flexible to help you learn what you want to too such as learning how to make traditional foods. The organisation has something to help better the lives of all age groups. The host always made sure you were well looked after and safe. An amazing organisation and people to spend time with!

I stayed for approximately 3 weeks , and it was truly an experience of a lifetime. The kids were inspiring and a pleasure to work with , My host Ruth went above and beyond to make me and the other volunteers comfortable. Joshua also went out of his way to support and facilitate transportation for me when I spent the weekend away from the organisation.

It was a fantastic experience, Over the course of the 3 weeks I spent in the association, I was able to completely immerse myself in their culture and meet so many beautiful people. Having the opportunity to help children and the project in this project made me very happy, it is definitely an experience that will remain in my heart forever. I want to thank Joshua for his endless helpfulness and kindness. You are doing a wonderful job and I wish you all the best for the years to come. see you soon 😁
