In this project, they have already planted thousands of trees and continue to make a difference in the lives of many communities, I highly recommend the experience, which goes beyond a normal sustainability project, I had the pleasure of spending a few weeks in the eco-villages and following day to day life and had a complete immersion in the local culture, I highly recommend it!

I am writing to highly recommend Momodu and the Worldpacker program based on my recent volunteering experience in Gambia. Momodu was an exceptional host, providing invaluable support and guidance throughout my stay. His dedication to sustainable development and fostering meaningful connections within the local community made my experience truly unforgettable. I wholeheartedly endorse Momodu and the Worldpacker program to anyone seeking a rewarding volunteering opportunity.
