My time at the project was very positive. I learnt a lot about what the organisation does to help the community, from children to teenagers, and making sure they stay safe and have a place to call home. The team, and the locals I met were the friendliest and liveliest people with so much care and love for one another. I had an amazing experience.

I stayed 2 weeks only, even if I planned to stay 1 month but this time was great. I wish I had enjoyed the place for longer time cause people are really welcoming and I met a lot of nice people from the locals to the volunteers. Hope to go back soon! Ruth was amazing taking care of our meals and accomodation, but all the staff contributed to make you feel part of them. I think I received more than what I gave.

My experience at syi was absolutely amazing! i felt welcomed from the first moment. the people were the friendliest and most helpful, and everyone was focused on making a true impact on the kids' lives. if i ever needed help with anything, i could ask one of the managers, and they would take care of it as soon as possible. also, the kids at the organization were absolutely lovely, and i will miss all of them, hoping to be back soon.

SYI is such an AMAZING organisation! From the administration to the teen/adult volunteer and the kids. They really care about their community and their volunteers. They listen to what is in need and improve on it. If you're looking to have some impact in a community and also have an AWESOME time with the locals, this is for you.

This has been an absolutely amazing experience and it passed by so quick!!! We did 2 weeks and in those 2 weeks we got to see how amazing this organization is and how much it does for its community in so many different ways. Its truly a safe place for the kids to feel safe, to grow and to learn new things. The kids are absolutely incredible and the team of volunteers work really hard to put everything together. There is no doubt in my mind that I will be back. Thank you for welcoming us in the SYI family!

The project is an organization that helps children living in the slums who do not have the opportunity to go to school. It is a place full of amazing people, full of energy and love. They dedicate themselves to children who cannot study, and volunteers have the opportunity to provide them with basic education. What pleasantly surprised me was that every weekend, they organize a feeding program for all the children from the slum. It was an incredible experience to see and get to know their culture. Thank you, the project!

I spent 16 days in the project under the guidance of Joshua, Ruth, Mercy, Anthony and other members of SYI. It's hard to describe how amazing this trip was for me, the best way to sum it up is to just go yourself ! The organisation does an unlimited number of different activities and initiatives for the local people and children. The impact they make to their community truly is amazing. I felt so welcomed and looked after in every sense the whole time I spent in the project. The people made the experience for me and made it very difficult when it came time to leave. I will definatly be returning !
