My experience was great. This was my first volunteer work and also my first travel alone and everything about the environment, the people and the work made me feel very comfortable to enjoy the experience. I already miss my time there ❤️🇧🇷🇹🇿

Staying in Chamazi was a amazing experience. I was a teacher at the Samaritan’s school and I loved it, i didn’t had any experience with teaching or child care but it was very easygoing for me. The teachers, other volunteers and Emmanuel, Jackson, Mfaume, Sauda and Janet were very kind and welcoming. They made it easy to stay and feel at some. Would love to come back!

My experience at the Samaritan school was incredible. Emmanuel, Jackson, Mfaume, and the entire team truly take care of the volunteers. I was in the baby class with teacher Philippina, who immediately welcomed me and involved me, I felt useful and comfortable very quickly. On weekends, safari, beach, and city excursions are offered to everyone,incredible days that allow you to share amazing moments with the other volunteers.
This trip was one of the best I've ever had the chance to experience. An experience I sincerely recommend! Thank you for such an important and fantastic program!!

The children are amazing! They are truly joyful, keen to learn and full of love. The Islamic school was a wonderful environment. The Samaritan evening class children were great too. Very interactive and hard working. They appreciate all the time you spend with them. I was so sad to say goodbye. I learnt a lot from this experience especially about Tanzanian culture: good and bad sadly. Mfaume and Sauda are such kind individuals. Mfaume made my experience what it was by taking us on day trips, making us laugh and always keeping us busy. The food cooked by the chef Ibrahim was amazing-so tasty.

I had a wonderful experience volunteering with this organization. Everyone was welcoming, supportive, and friendly from the very beginning. The experience allowed me to meet new people, learn new skills, and contribute to a meaningful cause.

I really appreciated the positive atmosphere and the opportunity to step outside my comfort zone. I would highly recommend this volunteering experience to anyone looking to help others, gain valuable experience, and create great memories.
