This experience was truly one that changed my life in so many ways. I was given the incredible opportunity to make true connections with not only the children, but the kind and accommodating host family. What I loved about this experience was that I felt truly immersed and welcomed into their home and culture. There were so many special moments dancing, laughing, and singing. It was such a positive atmosphere to learn and grow. Teaching in the school was an experience I will never forget. The children were eager to learn and had open hearts to the volunteers. Thank you for everything ❤️

My experience at the school has been incredible. From day one, I felt welcomed and truly part of the family, even so far from home. I received so much support at school and learned a lot from both the teachers and my students. But what I will treasure most are the connections I made, the laughter, the little moments and all the memories I will take with me. The children, teachers and family have each left a little piece of themselves in my heart. I leave incredibly grateful for these unforgettable weeks and everything I have experienced. Asante, nakupenda na nitawakumisi sana sana sana. ❤️

The experience was really rewarding. I can't deny that was difficult at first because of cultural differences and the aerea outside of a tourist area, but it just takes a days to set up thanks to the host family that's very helpful and with the other volunteers I felt part of the team. The students are very enthusiastic about welcoming new volunteers, getting to know them and they're very engaged into the activities. I really recommend the experience to whom is willing to be part of the local community and give an important improvement to their the school
