Had a good time at Samaritan, it took a couples of days to get acclimatized to the new environment, especially in the february heat, but teaching the little kids became a highly rewarding experience. The children at the schools are adorable and eager to learn. Getting to know the friendly staff of the volunteer house was also great and we had a lot of fun. I truly felt the organization has made a big impact on chamazi and the schools it supports, and i am happy to have been able to contribute to these efforts.

I arrived home today, and I already miss it so much. I spent the past four weeks volunteering with Samaritan Volunteers, and I truly regret not staying longer. It was an incredible experience that allowed me to immerse myself in the local culture while making a meaningful impact. The children were so sweet, full of energy and kindness, and always eager to learn and connect. Jackson and Emmanuel, were incredibly supportive—they were always there to help with anything, making sure we felt comfortable and safe. Their dedication and passion for the community were truly inspiring.

My experience in the organization with THO will never be forgotten in my life. All the organization professions I met in the hospital were very welcoming, friendly, and passionate to walk me through clinical practices. I rotated different departments such as ER trauma, labs, labour ward, orthopedic operation room, pediatrics, and ICU. It really helped me narrow down what I am most interested in and yet I wish I had more time to explore other areas as well. As a volunteer who never had clinical experience before, I truly learned so many things about medicine and it influenced my life and career path.

I had an amazing experience volunteering with THO! Dr. William, the hospital staff, and my house mom, Asha, made me feel truly at home during my entire stay. Soon after I arrived the other volunteers became like family. In the hospital, I was able to work along doctors, nurses, and other students in the ER, labour ward and the NICU. I was able to not only exercise my skills but learn by watching doctors closely in action. Everyone in the hospital was so kind and helpful. In my time off I was also able to explore different parts of the organization such as Zanzibar and even a Safari. Thank you again!!

I joined this project hoping to make a real difference in the community and gain practical hospital experience, but it fell far short of expectations. From the start, we missed the main outreach activity because the program manager forgot to pick up our house. In the hospital, we were left without supervision — the doctor we were paying for was absent most of the time — and received no real training or engagement from the staff. Despite the hospital being decently equipped, there was a clear lack of willingness to involve or teach students. No procedures were done by my part at the hospital.

My time working in the hospital was an unforgettable experience. The people I've met are incredibly welcoming and eager to teach the volunteers their practices. My host mom, Asha, made sure to take me out to experience the local culture and markets. Working alongside such smart and dedicated people in the hospital gave me a new appreciation for the challenges they face in the organization how they overcome them. I was able to take the time to travel over the weekends (Zanzibar, Bagamoyo, Mnemba, Mikumi), and there was not one place that I wouldn't recommend other travelers to go to.

This was such a great experience! Our homestay was wonderful and our family really made us feel at home and helped us learn about the local culture. Dr. William and his team were very welcoming and accommodating leading to us having a great experience. We learned so much and felt like we were able to help so many people, all while getting to learn and immerse ourselves in the culture! If you are on the fence about this opportunity, do it!

I had a fantastic experience volunteering with the Tanzanian the organization in Dar es Salaam, working alongside midwives and gaining valuable hands-on experience. My husband helped with fundraising materials and learned a lot about THO's impactful work in the community. Our host family was incredibly welcoming, providing delicious meals and a glimpse into Tanzanian culture. Dr. William and Chris made our experience memorable by combining hospital work with adventures around Dar es Salaam and Zanzibar. We loved every moment!

My time at Samaritan volunteers was amazing! I really enjoyed my time here. The kids are lovely and you have the opportunity to spend lots of time with them (in the morning and afternoon). When I was at Samaritan, there were about 10 other volunteers. The staff makes you feel at home. Would recommend this project to everyone.
