I would like to thank the organization for giving me the chance to live this experience as a volunteer nurse here in the organization. I have been able to see how healthcare works up close, I have worked side by side with its professionals and I have felt part of the team. I have tried to help as much as possible and share my knowledges. Being able to live close to their culture and traditions has been great. I have had an incredible personal and professional experience, which has filled my heart.

It was just the best three weeks of my life. I didn't expect how much this experience would give me. I met several incredible people who will always stay in my heart, I got the chance to create a huge impact on the local community through outreach programs, and the opportunity to help Dr. William promote the NGO. Despite working hours, there is also plenty of time to experience the local culture and explore the natural beauty of the organization such as Zanzibar, Safari, and nearby islands. I can recommend this program to other volunteers who want to create a real impact.

I had an absolutely amazing time volunteering here. From start to finish I was always made to feel welcome. Jackson picked me up from the airport and brought me to the house which was lovely and all the other volunteers embraced me nicely. I got a double room to myself which was great. The hours were what to expect and the kids at both schools I was at were tremendous. The food whilst a little repetitive and plain was nice.

It was a really good experience. The host family became a second family, the people I met became my close friends. The hospital experience was very formative and I recommend it to all medical students and doctors. The organisation is excellent and the possibilities for discovering the organization, in your free time, are endless. Thank you for making me feel at home. i will always carry this fantastic experience in my heart.
