To the most rewarding, touching and powerful experience of my life. To Lydia and Emma who warmly welcomed me and to the unique bonds created with the children at home: Mwenja, Jeremy, Chris, Regard, those at school: Darius, Cyprien..., the teachers: especially Rebecca and Ariette and the volunteers (to Vanessa my twin). I'll never forget you, you've all marked me with your kindness, good humor and love. Just thank you and Onona.

It was a very impressive experience! If you love children, this place is like heaven. The children here love our volunteers. Sometimes when the water doesn't come out and the lights go out, the people here are positive, and you can also think twice about your attitude in life. If you come here, make sure you think about what you can do as a volunteer and act.

For me volunteering with the organization was a super positive experience. The children at school are great you can feel the desire to learn. Preparing lessons and teaching is an experience to try. Lydia and Emma are very ambitious and determined people with a kind heart. The family at home became my second family. Thanks for everything guys❤️

It was one of the best decisions I've ever made - to come to volunteer in this project! the team and people in general in Uganda are amazing! the hosts are interested in making your time there as best as it's possible! you feel like you MAKE A CHANGE and that's so wonderful! everything is planned and you see how the project is progressing!!! I would definitely recommend it for everyone! you would not regret it! the living conditions are rural and quite simple - but frankly don't even think about this! get a ticket plane and come to Uganda to help the guys make a change!
