“It was one of the greatest experience in my life. Tanzania is a very beautiful country with wonderful nature and pleasant people. Volunteering here gave me a chance to know better other countries culture and communicate with people who are doing a very big influence for the orphans. I am amazed of these kids ability to enjoy simple things and to know how to smile and be happy in every situation. I definitely recommend to volunteer in Tanzania.”

“It was amazing to be with the kids to help them in everything they need and to see how they live and to get proportions. Thank you very much! The overall living experience was excellent. It was very comfortable and homely stay with all the facilities that I could have asked for. The highlight of my project to see the kids run to hug me when I come to the orphanage every morning.”

“My overall experience was great! I think largely in part because of the program I did as well as all the different people I met there. I also enjoyed going out and seeing some parts of Arusha and thought that the weekend trips helped make lasting memories. The house was clean and spacious and in a good neighborhood. The food was alright. I really enjoyed working at the project and I think that the experience is definitely worthwhile. Again I liked the independence that volunteers were given to go and help and organize themselves. The chance to take some of the load off of the kids felt great. I think other than developing an attachment to the kids the other highlight was working with other volunteers and learning about the orphanage and the kids there.”

“Very good experience Levolosi hospital was amazing. The house where I was living was great as well great food/accommodation great people. At the project site I could participate a lot and when I told them my level I could do things according to that level. I'm a 4th-year medical student so I could participate a lot in the clinic. Everyone at the house and the project were friendly and supportive.The highlight of the program - Participating so much in the clinic and the great atmosphere in the house. The safari and tours I could book through the house were amazing as well. The Pre-departure booklet was excellent and accessing My Account was good too.”

“I enjoyed very much! It was very good opportunity to study and play with local students in Zanzibar. Local schools have a lot of differences compared with schools of my country. However I think to accept those differences might be the first step to getting along with local people. I enjoyed those differences too! I learned many things from them. The house was comfortable and clean. All foods were very delicious. Even there are not internet connection I did not have any big problem with them. (It was good for me to take distance from the internet those days!) Local coordinator was very nice flexible and his English is perfect. We could talk about our interests sometimes at night. It is very easy to look for the project from location or term on the website. My page is also easy to find information and steps we need to complete. The service staff always answered to my question quickly and those answers made my feeling reassurance. It was my first experience to teach English and Math for foreign students. Firstly I was very nervous but gradually I'd got along with them and I found that each student has their personality and advantages (and disadvantages). I hope I could spend more time with them and teach them. This experience has made me confident to spend time with children and it will be very useful for my future career. Thank you very much for all your support. I would like to join other volunteer in the future if I have chances! I strongly recommend to join the volunteer program to my friends.”

“I really liked the personal page for my trip on the website. The pre-departure booklet was very helpful - especially the language section. Some relevant medical terms/phrases would be helpful for hospital volunteers. The service staff was also very helpful. I loved my placement and didn't want to leave! It was very worthwhile. The accommodation and meals were great! Much better than what I had expected! The in-country staff was great and so helpful. The highlight was being able to go to orphanages and schools some days rather than the hospitals so we could help the kids a little whether it was fixing up scratches or handing out toothbrushes.”

“I think the website is quite good everything is clear and the information is easy to find. The pre-departure booklet was really complete and also it was very useful I think all the issues were covered. The service staff was great from the very beginning if not it wouldn't have been so easy to get the trip ready. I loved the project I was working on the experience just couldn't have been more amazing. I was really impressed by the staff team of my orphanage ( Upendo Face). they were so nice to us and to the kids I'm glad I had the chance to work there. I think the meals were really good and the accommodation too. it’s true that they could clean the rooms more often but it was correct.”

“The website was easy to navigate well organised and with lots of photos. The pre-departure booklet was very useful and comprehensive. The staff were greatly helpful and responsive.But the project was the highlight and yes my efforts get appreciated there. Meals are very good although more options e.g. brown bread milk would have been wonderful. There were some problems with not having any water in my room a times but the staff kindly assisted me. In country staff were wonderful extremely friendly supportive and generous. The volunteer work- connecting with the children at the orphanage learning from them and being part of something valued and worthwhile the friendships with other volunteers the cultural experience and unique opportunities e.g. visiting Masai village are some of the best experience of my whole volunteer trip. Extremely grateful for the amazing experience I will treasure for my lifetime very happy to recommend to others.”
