Being at the project was a amazing and deep experience. I was certainly helped more than I actually helped and then and from this experience my worldview changed completely.

The host was very rarely there, but when he was he accused the locals of begging me and another volunteer for money. When I first arrived I asked what tasks I am able to do and he said to ask the other volunteers. The volunteers said they tend to go to the school and then just spend time with the children in the morning and afternoon, however when I did this for three weeks, he told me I wasn't doing enough, however he only told me this two days before I was leaving. There was a very big pressure to spend a lot of money on the project like previous volunteers.

We were welcomed by the project and looked after really well! Interacting with the kids, getting to know them, and sharing a living environment with them was truly wholesome and a great learning experience. There are multiple projects that need funding, and I think the project should focus on finishing one at a time. The agreement was to exchange childcare for a bed and meals, yet we also felt pressured to raise funds and pay for things like groceries. the project needs money, they should make this program a paid program and not a free program. Overall it was a good experience✨

Thank you for the feedback, things are bad in the country, so it will nice for the volunteers to pay something when visit the orphanage this year. Some they do think on their own that how are these people managing feed us do where do they get funds.it will great to host the volunteers who can help.

I mostly spend my time playing with the children and sometimes helping with cooking meals.There were no specific hours or tasks that needed to be done during the day , so its pretty much up to you on what to do with your time as there were no rules .I think if there was a proper schedule put in place , everyone would feel better.The hosts are very welcoming and kind but they treated us like royalty which I found was unnecessary, especially because they fed us so much food while the kids barely got anything.but at the end of the day I did what I could for the children and we had a goodtime

Absolutely loved my time volunteering! Immersed in the local culture, the village embraced me warmly. Learning local languages was enriching. The kids stole my heart; spending time with them and tending to the garden brought immense joy. A piece of my heart remains with them, and I already miss the laughter and innocence. Hope to reunite soon. Grateful for this unforgettable experience! 🌍💙

Wow! What can I say? What an incredible experience at the project. This was our dream placement. Astone, Caroline and Sosha made us feel so at home and part of the project family. Volunteering within the football academy, schools and the orphange was a truly rewarding experience. the project United will always have a place in our hearts and so will all the people. WE ARE THE VILLAGERS! I would recommend Astone to anyone I meet and I hope that we can return again one day.

We LOVED our time at the project, from the moment we made contact with Astone, we were made to feel so welcome. His family were so welcoming, loving and friendly, it really feels like a second family. We used our time during the mornings supporting in a few different pre and primary schools supporting the teachers with English and Sports lessons. In the afternoons we led the training for the academy football team. Weekends consisted of football matches for the academy and going to watch the first team play! We were so sad to leave as the project and its people are so special to us.

I had the time of my life in the project. I was able to meet great people in the village and to spend time with the best kids in the world. Also the activities organized by the host on the free days are amazing. I hope I'll have the possibility to go back.

This experience has been a lifetime experience. The kindness found in this place has been unique. Astone, Caroline and the whole the project family have been awesome. I had a total immersion in the village life: the days in the project have been amazing wth the children, we shared lot, had fun, I have learned local culture and eventually I felt part of that family and of the village. Days off have been fulfilled of activities thanks to Astone that made me discover the beauty of this place: safaris and Victoria Falls. I have loved every single aspect, moment and person I met.

My experience at the project was nothing short of amazing. The host Astone was very welcoming and made my stay comfortable. He organised a game drive for me and it was awesome. His wife Caroline is an angel, she was always so welcoming. I learnt and experienced a lot during my time here. I loved the time I spent with the kids, and my favourite part of day was going to the garden and learning about vegetables and fish farming with Haggai. Overall I had a great experience not only at the project but in Livingstone in general. I met a lot of new people who I'll continue to keep touc
