My journey in Chamazi has been one of the best experiences of my life. The host and his family welcomed me as one of them since the beginning so it felt like a second home from the start. I met wonderful people, discovered an amazing culture and I really hope I was able to teach the kids as much as I learnt from them.

This was my first world packers experience and it quickly became one of the best experiences in my life, I only wish I spent more time there. From the moment I was picked up from the airport Jovin and Joseph made me feel at home in Chamazi, welcoming me into their homes. Working with the teachers and kids was incredibly rewarding, the kids were joyous and made sure you had your spirits up at all times. The food was delicious and my experience on the safari fulfilled childhood dreams, we also had lots of fun on our beach trips. I hope to return to Chamazi the next chance I get.

My time at the organization in Chamazi was an experience I can hardly put into words. From the moment I arrived, Jovin and Joseph welcomed me with open arms. Life in Chamazi is simple but incredibly warm, and I quickly became part of the local community. Working at the school, helping renovate, and spending time with the children was deeply meaningful. Despite the initial culture shock, it quickly felt like home. I had to leave early due to an exam, but I will definitely return. I highly recommend the organization to anyone seeking a new perspective on what truly matters.

This was my first volunteer experience and it was truly wonderful. All the hosts were incredibly welcoming, kind, and made me feel at home from the beginning. The teachers at the school were amazing and it was inspiring to see their dedication. The kids were absolutely lovely and spending time with them was the most special part of the experience. I also met great volunteers from different parts of the world which made everything even more memorable. The food was always delicious and prepared with care. Overall it was a beautiful, meaningful experience and I'm very grateful to everyone :)

Jovin, Elina, their family, and Joseph take really good care of the volunteers and make you feel at home from the moment you arrive. They are warm, welcoming, and always ready to help with anything you need, which makes settling in very easy.

The school has a really positive and supportive atmosphere. The children are so sweet, curious, and full of energy. Also the teachers are incredibly kind, dedicated, and supportive. You can really see how much they care about the students and their education.

Overall, it's more than just a place to volunteer, it feels like being part of a family :)
