My experience with THO was positive and I am glad I participated. I have definitely changed after this trip and feel like a better person. My advice is to go with a friend. I am not happy about the fact that I asked to go to the pediatric department and I was not sent to the department I had chosen months before. The hospital was far away—45 to 50 minutes there and the same for the return trip. On the other hand, the house was clean, and the host mom was very kind to us. As for afternoon activities, there are plenty of options to have fun in company of other volunteers!

Volunteering at Samaritans school was fun, challenging and chaotic. Baby class in the morning, with Noella, was great - she is brilliant with the kids. Afternoon class felt unstructured, at times, and I found the language barrier frustrating as I struggled to explain lessons in a way students could truly understand. As such, my contribution didn't feel as meaningful as I'd have liked. Still, they are wonderful kids, and dancing and singing with them after class was a daily highlight. The accommodation is comfortable and the food is delicious, but be aware you're a long way from the city!

Thank you for your feedback and for spending time with our children.
We’d like to mention that we always have local teachers available to support volunteers with translation and classroom activities, as this is something we prioritize. If this support was not consistent at times, we sincerely apologize, as it does not reflect our usual standards.
We also encourage volunteers to communicate any challenges during their stay so we can provide immediate support.

My medical volunteer experience in the organization was profoundly meaningful and transformative. Working in a local hospital allowed me to witness both the challenges and the resilience within the healthcare system. I was welcomed warmly by the medical team, who generously shared their knowledge and encouraged me to participate actively in daily clinical tasks.

I loved my time with THO. I learned a lot during my time there. Everyone was always willing to help me and I had the opportunity to try things I would never be able to do in my home country. The work did not always feel like volunteering, because there were time where there was not much for us to do. I think future volunteers should keep that it mind. The hostess was amazing and I felt very welcomed. The group and all the activities we did during the week and in the weekends are unforgettable and really made the trip one of the most amazing experiences ever!

I can only recommend this experience to any volunteer. The SVO has a true and positive impact on the Chamazi communities by offering teaching to pre-schoolers. Emmanuel, the founder does everything to make this experience very smooth and enjoyable for each volunteer. Thank you so much for having me!

My 21-day volunteering experience with Samaritan Volunteers Organization in Chamazi, the organization, was truly life-changing. The warmth of the community and the dedication of the program coordinator made me feel safe, welcome, and supported from the very first day. Teaching and spending time with the children opened my heart and helped me grow beyond my comfort zone. There were moments that required adaptation, and I believe with a bit more clarity future volunteers can feel even more prepared. Above all, I am deeply grateful for the organization's initiative and send a heartfelt thank you ❤️❤️🌻

My experience with THO was one of the most meaningful of my life. As a third-year medical student, I joined the hospital program, mainly in pediatrics, and found it both educational and eye-opening. Doctors and nurses were welcoming, supportive, and encouraged supervised hands-on practice. Beyond the hospital, I shared unforgettable moments with amazing people through safaris, trips to Zanzibar, city tours, and evening activities. At home, Angela's warmth and delicious meals made us feel cared for. I also thank Dr. William, who was always present and supportive. I truly recommend this program!

This experience was absolutely amazing, it exceeded all of my expectations! I can't say one bad thing about it. The other volunteers I met are really great and interesting people, my host family was always very kind and supportive (even the neighboring host family was so sweet towards me). The doctors and nurses at the hospital also love to help and educate students. We had a different activity organized every day, it's a great opportunity to meet other volunteers. And Dr William is amazing, he is always very helpful, kind, great at communicating and flexible.
