The Experience

We need volunteers to promote our activities while they are at our school to let people see what is happening really and influence them to get involved. We don't know much about visual communication and marketing. The power of media is great, the skills of the volunteer in this matter will create a lasting impact to the kids and us.

I really enjoyed my stay at the school and I miss William and his family, all the great teachers and all the adorable children a lot ! At first I needed a bit of time to get into everything, because I was alone for the first 2 weeks and everything was new. The language, the food, the bathroom... Also the tasks are really open so don't expect that William tells you do this, do that, help here. It is more about having own Ideas and figuring out how they can work. After realising this and with 2 other volunteers the fun started and I enjoyed my time there so much and I am sooo grateful !

Volunteering at the school was an amazing life experience. William and his family were really welcoming and it was so nice to have lived with them for two weeks. The room was comfortable and the food was always really good (thank you, Monica ^^). The most different thing for me was the bathroom and showering in a way I was not used to, but you get used to it. William is a person with so good intentions and we could witness this while we were there. He wants to make a difference in those kids' lives and help them create a better future for themselves and others. Assante Sana

This place is just amazing! William is such an incredible person with the best intentions for everyone. I stayed there for 3 weeks with my girlfriend and another volunteer (Peter). William were super positiv to all our suggestions for how we could help the school. We ended up making a video and a fundraiser. We also built a playground for the kids which included a football field, volleyball field and a basketball court. You will feel super welcomed by the kids, the teachers and everyone around in the village. Highly recommended!

I had an incredible experience with the school! William and his family are so kind, and the social impact of the school and the other programs that William is involved in is inspiring. If you want to truly make a difference while learning about local culture, this is the place to volunteer. I'll never forget my time with them.

This trip was very special to me. It really teached me so many things, I got a new perspective of life. William is an amazing man who does so much for his community. The school is amazing, with the most grateful and sweet children. The village that I lived in was very welcoming. Thanks to William and his beautiful family that made me feel at home from the first day. I want to come back. Asante sana!
