James & everyone else are really nice & helpful. The teachers & children at both schools give you a warm welcome & you immediately feel part of the community. You gonna help them with english & math, creating posters for the classroom or just playing with them. If you want to go on excursions, James is there to organise everything for you if you wish & you definitely should do some.😉 The communication with James was always easy and fast. I would absolutely recommend it, if you like children, wanna do some interesting excursions and wanna see more about the real life.

My experience here has been amazing. I spent six wonderful weeks. This program is perfect for combining volunteering and responsible tourism: you have the chance to explore the city and the region, and James is always available to help and organize tours for you. Getting around the city is easy and safe. Helping out in the schools is both enriching and fun. Here I met so many people and learned about many different cultures. It's an experience I 100% recommend and will always carry in my heart!

My 3-week stay in Arusha was an unforgettable and meaningful experience. The host and family were incredibly welcoming, the kids were full of joy and curiosity, and each day brought something new, from helping in English and Math lessons in the schools to playing with them in the afternoons. I left with new friendships, a broader perspective, and a heart full of gratitude. Highly recommend this experience to anyone looking to make an impact while learning from a beautiful community.

My stay with the Family of James was a really beautiful experience, I defintely recommend it! Not only the experience you gain at the two schools the volunteers are helping, also the stay with the local family makes you feel like you really get to know the real life in Arusha. James was always very caring and the communication with him was very easy and good! You had enough freetime to do other activities or just relax/hang out with the other volunteers. The organization of Trips such as a Safari was easy as well :)

I had a wonderful time volunteering here! The host family was very welcoming, and working with the children was such a fun and rewarding experience. Thanks to James , I was able to enjoy both volunteering and traveling at the same time. I made great memories and would definitely recommend this place!
