Our time with Careen and her family was really nice. From the first day we felt like home. Her sisters Rachel and Salma provided a lot of healthy vegetarian food, we could cook with them, go on trips together, sing in the evening or watch movies in the living room. Careen took very good care of us and we gained a real friend with her. The work in the little nursery school next door was enjoyable. The kids are super cute and cuddly and we taught them some English, played sports games, sang songs and helped with exams. The area feels a bit local at the beginning but is very safe.

We had a wonderful experience hosting Till and Anne, From the beginning, they were friendly, respectful, and very easy to get along with. They quickly adapted to our routine and were always willing to help wherever needed.
What we appreciated most was how they connected with everyone not just as volunteers, but as part of our family. Their positive energy, kindness, and teamwork made a big difference in our daily activities.
i recommended them to any host you'll be luck to have them.

It's a very friendly family in which I quickly felt at home. They are very open minded and interested in me and my culture. They took me everywhere and showed me their culture. I learned some Swahili and we went on many different trips together, which I wouldn't have been able to do on my own, even though I like to travel more alone. I hope to stay in touch for a long time and come back. The time at school was also an interesting experience and I was able to provide information. I would recommend this stay if you don't dare to travel alone but want to experience a lot of their culture.
