My experience the project was wonderful! the project and Heaven always made sure I felt comfortable and welcome. Heaven cooks delicious food and the house is spacious and cozy. In our free time we shared many great moments both in Arusha and beyond, including parts of daily life that allowed me to have a truly authentic experience. The children and teachers at the school are amazing and greet you with open arms. Together we played, painted and participated in classes. We even went on a safari together at Arusha National Park!

My experience in the project was surreal. So far one of the best trips of my life. the project and his partner are amazing, they did everything for me, took care of me during my stay. Even when I needed to wake up very early in the morning to da Safari, they had breakfast ready for me, so so lovely. He also used to accompany me to school and to the orphanage I was helping, and sor out any issues or pendencies I needed. The house where he lives is lovely, big, clean, hot water in the shower and comfortable beds! The kids and people are amazing, and they need a lot of help! โ™ฅ๏ธ

The project and Hevenlight are absolutely wonderful. They make sure you are comfortable, safe, and well taken care of. Madame Flora and the kids at Hovinais Day Center are also amazing. The day center provides childcare (mainly for single mothers) enabling parents to find work or continue their education with the goal being they can support themselves and give their children a sustainable future. I feel very lucky to have been able to be a part of what they are doing here.

My experience was amazing, full of wonderful surprises. We were very warmly welcomed by the project and Heaven. The house was very comfortable, clean, and well organized. The food was delicious, with traditional local dishes. We always had great moments around the table, feeling like we were part of the family. At the day care center, we were also welcomed by the entire team and the children. It was an unforgettable experience, in a place that truly has the power to transform social challenges. We felt very safe the project and in his home. He is an amazing host, always caring about our joy.

Tรขnia was a wonderful volunteer and a very supportive presence in our home and community. She helped a lot at the day care center, working with the children and the team with kindness and care. She also generously bought many important items for the school and children, including learning materials and food. Tรขnia joined us at our Lutheran church, shared family life with us, and showed genuine love for the local culture and community. We are very grateful for her time with us.

My experience was beyond amazing, it was a lifetime one, and that's all because of my host the project and Heaven, so im so thankful because of them, unique people. Since the first day the project made everything to make us feel safe, happy and living all the best and real life of the project. The house is very comfortable and safe. Heaven is such an amazing cooker, and made the best and tradicional food for us. The experience at the Day center was so great, everyone made us feel so happy and welcomed, the kids are so nice and cute. I will never forget this time. For sure it was the best place to choose.
