This was without a doubt one of the best volunteer experiences I've ever had. It was a gift!I am immensely grateful to Thomas and his family for welcoming me with open arms. All the interaction with the children was amazing This NGO doesn't charge any extra fees. And I found this 👍🏼. So there things you need to know beforegoing. This is to avoid bad reviews for them in the future from other volunteers - There are a lot of insects there. I bought a mosquito net - The diet is very basic. - There no specific time for breakfast, lunch and dinner I totalrecommed youto volunteer in the school

The host's family really made me feel welcomed and appreciated throughout my stay. They made sure that the place you stayed in were clean and comfortable enough, and often checked in on me and my needs. While limited, my most memorable times were interacting with the kids during their break time and after classes were over. As my primary role was on the creation of a fundraiser, it has been one of my most insightful experiences on understanding the nuances and complexities particularly when it came to finding a suitable payment gateway. Overall, it has been a wonderful immersion stay.

I had the incredible opportunity to volunteer at the school, and it was an amazing experience! From the moment I arrived, I felt warmly welcomed and part of their family. Thomas and his family are genuinely kind and passionate about the school, and their dedication to the students is truly inspiring. The love and care they have for eachother is amazing. They made me more then welcome, and gave me a home far away from home. Thomas and his family are one of a kind people, and I am beyond grateful for everything they did. Go there and let the magic of Mwanza enchant you! Lots of love!!!

Thomas and his family literally changed my life. There are not enough words to explain my gratitude and my love for this people that taught me so much in just a few days. The kids are the sweetest kids on this planet. All family members are so committed to humanity, God, love, passion, etc that is unbelievable the feeling you get once you meet them. I leave this house for now, but with the promise of coming back. If you have the opportunity to come, please do, it will be one of the best experiences of your life 😭

I can definitely recommend this Preschool. The family is so friendly, happy, thankful and peaceful. They do the best that you have a really nice time there. You can express your wants and needs and they will try to do the best for you. Also you have the opportunity to see a lot of things in this city. Its such a great local experience. Also the kids are open mind to you directly.
