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.

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!

It was one of the best decisions I had ever made. I had an amazing time in Kisesa. William and his family made me fell like I was home. The school is such a beautiful project. The kids are so adorable and the teachers are always willing to learn and also very friendly. I wish I could be Back one day. I will miss this a lot. Asante sana.

I had an incredible time at William's place! My girlfriend and I spent three weeks there, and it was a fantastic experience. The family was always eager to help and provide tips whenever we needed assistance. The safari that William offers is highly recommended. We went on a one-day trip and witnessed some incredible sights. I can't say enough good things about this place. William is a dedicated individual who goes above and beyond to support and educate the children. He's a genuinely lovely guy! 😊

William and the host family are very thoughtful and welcoming. Our daughter really connected with Williams beautiful children in the home. The children and teachers we worked with were such a joy to be around. I loved and appreciated the way that the teachers were receptive and thirsty for knowledge. We will really miss everyone in Kisesa and we hope to come back someday to celebrate the progress of the school!!

William is amazing! I had the pleasure of being hosted by him and his family during their transition from having one school to two schools. It takes so much effort to make sure all the kids transition smoothly to the new school even though it's in a different village than the first one. The treatment at William's house was outstanding. Excellent meals, decent room with a mosquito net and plenty of great memories. The surrounding community has most things needed . We helped them secure more desks and chairs for the new school as well as painted a few murals in the classrooms. Thanks for y'all.
