I stayed for a month. It's quite a suitable place to learn a different culture and language. A different lifestyle in a different environment gave me a lot of things to learn. Simultaneously, the host understanding our lifestyle and culture helped my life out there. It's also possible to ask them to arrange holidays like sightseeing from familiar nature to great nature with wildlife. You should be able to exchange value.

Owino has a giant heart, my trip went wrong and unfortunately I couldn't go, but from the moment he confirmed my stay he was always very attentive, he provided the letter of recommendation for my visa and gave me a lot of information, even then I couldn't go, he really understood me and continued to be kind, i will have the pleasure to meet his project one day. Thanks

It was an experience that I will never forget, knowing that I passed through the lives of those children for a week and I was able to teach them something, even if it is small, it is a grain of sand for a possible better future
