I had and excellent experience with all the staff memebers. Micky was incredible welcoming and always on the top of everything I needed. David was fantastic co-lead in the empowerment workshops. Even when things got tough we always ended the day laughing. Staying with my host family was wonderful. Bibi made me feel like part of the family, treating me like on of her granddaughters and always checking on me. I learned so much about the local culture and cuisine. Volunteering with the organization was a great experience. They are doing a wonderful job in the community:)

Micky and my host, Bibi were absolutely amazing. I learned a lot about the society in Tanzania and had the opportunity to contribute to a really great cause. The people at the school are doing great work and it was a pleasure to be able to help them for a few weeks. Highly recommended for the growth and exposure you will get after this experience
