This was my first solo trip to Africa, and I couldn't have made a better choice. From the start, I felt warmly welcomed. the organization is a genuinely kind person, as is everyone else I met here. I had the opportunity to cook, play with the children—who are incredibly affectionate and full of life—and immerse myself in the local culture in ways I never anticipated. This experience went far beyond just volunteering; it was a personal journey that enriched me in ways I will never forget.

I had an amazing time at the organization, from the second you arrived you are greeted with so much joy and happiness and that doesn't change throughout the whole stay! The children are amazing and the mothers are simply incredible! You get to experience the local culture and all that the area has to offer! The hosts really look after you and make sure you have everything you need, I will miss everyone very very much and will cherish the memories I made here in Uganda!

I had the best time staying with the organization, as soon as we arrived we were greeted with hugs and a warm welcome. They treated us like part of the family and encouraged us to experience local life. The children are so friendly and happy and we had the best time with them. Thank you so much for having us! Memories that will last forever x

If you want friends and memories to last a lifetime, this is undoubtedly the perfect place for it. My weeks here was weeks full of joy, love, good food, music, dance, laughter, culture and more love. The second you get there you are welcomed as part of the family. The kids are so smart and kind, and to everyone you will be seen as a family member. They protect you, help you and support you, and wow what you will learn! This is an experience I will remember forever.
