Highly recommended the organization! We had the most incredible experience with Emma and felt so welcome from the moment we arrived. Each weekday was spent at the school helping the children and running our own classes and then on the weekend we had free time to explore the area. Everyone is so lovely and friendly. Words can't describe how great these 2 weeks were. I will definitely come back. Thankyou

Such a beautiful, rewarding, and eye-opening experience! From the moment I arrived, Lydia, Emmanuel, and their family welcomed me with open arms—I truly felt at home, comfortable, and part of the family. The food was delicious, filling, and healthy—I was always satisfied. Teaching at the school was amazing; the kids were adorable and so eager to learn (patience is essential!) If you come, have an open heart and be adaptable. Power and running water aren't always accessible —it's a third-world country. This isn't a cheap holiday but a chance to give, grow, and embrace a new culture.

I came back after two years, and as I expected it was a great experience that will remain in my heart forever. It was great to see all the kids who have grown over time, and I thank them for the good time spent together, but most of all I would like to thank Emma and Lydia for welcoming me as one of the family. You are doing a wonderful job and I wish you all the best for the years to come. I will see you again soon. Love you dada
