The Experience

We believe that a child’s future success and advancement in life is greatly influenced by their early educational experience as those who have gone to school early develop an interest in education more than those who have not participated in early learning education – learning how to get along in groups, work under teacher supervision, etc. They also receive encouragement to express their feelings and ideas through building, dancing and drawing.

I had a great experience overall. Congepta and her family are absolutely amazing and I felt like home with them. I had the chance to take part in different projects and meet very nice people, and I really liked being with the children. Their energy is amazing 😍 There are little things that need to improve regarding organisation, especially at the library, but the rest was very enjoyable. I really recommend to everyone. I will have a hard time when I leave because I lived many beautiful experiences. Asanteni sana to everyone! Nakupenda! ❤️

Going to Arusha was one of the most incredible experiences of my life! Marko is really nice and helpful! My host family was the best, I was provided with good food and safe facilities to stay in. Being around the children was really good and that area really needs more volunteers to help! I wish I'd stayed longer, two weeks was not enough.

If you want to meet people and have fun this is your place. Thankyou Marko, Samson, Conjepta and lolita for making me feel like home. I had the opportunity of doing a lot of things not only in one place and that was cool, the library was the best place to teach and the orphanage the best place to give and receive love. Asante sana Rafiki. Now I have a familia in Arusha!

Going to Africa to volunteer with the organization org has been one of the best experiences in my life. I can't thank enough for everything, there are so many things you can choose to do that you can have multiple experiences in schools, projects, teaching, etc. Marko is an amazing person to work with who is always there when I need it working until the end with us for the kids, the host family was very nice and welcoming. I feel very grateful for find this NGO, meeting Marko, all the kids, the host family, the volunteers and all the people who are like family. Asante Sana love you all ❤🇹🇿

My experience as a volunteer with the the organization was amazing. I have no words. My host family (conjepta and her sisters and mother) was amazing and i felt at home form the beginning. They were really friendly and caring and the best cookers ever. The school (sammena school) was amazing. I love every moment at the school with the kids and the teacher. I really recommend it
