At first, I was nervous as I had no volunteer experience and had never been away from home this long. But in these 5 weeks, the organization and Shaki gave me a feeling of safety, love, and truly coming home. The passion with which everyone cares for the children and community deserves the highest respect. Seeing how every help is valued touched me deeply. This journey healed and shaped me in so many ways, and I can recommend it to everyone. If you want to know local life, have fun and find new friends the organization is perfect for you. Webale to all of you and I cant't wait to see you again soon!

Wow! What an experience! I find it hard to find the words to describe how amazing this experience has been! the organization and Shaki welcomed us into their family with warmth and love. They are not only kind and compassionate, but so much fun too. We had so many laughs together. The food was so good! They made such an effort to ensure we had the best experience of Uganda as possible. We went on safari, visited waterfalls, did a zipline, and the local village walk was so interesting. Playing with the children was such a delight. If you choose to volunteer here, you won't regret it!

Had the most wonderful time at the organization. They were very welcoming and looked after us well. They made sure we had a great time with planning experiences. The children were amazing and loved spending time with them. It was great to see them spending the money fundraised so you know where the money is going. They used our funds raised on building a new space for the children. Had a wonderful well rounded experience and would love to go back if I get the chance. I would encourage everyone to join this project.

I was lucky enough to spend 2 weeks volunteering at the organization and I had such a fantastic time. the organization was an excellent host, incredibly friendly and always willing to help to the best of his ability. The whole community was so welcoming from the beginning. They genuinely felt like a second family to me :) the organization gave me the opportunity to work on a range of different things such as animal care, teaching Maths and English to the children and helping dig the foundations for a new building. I can't recommend volunteering with the organization enough, it's an incredible organisation!

We are incredibly grateful for our second time with you. Thank you for everything you do for your community, for the kids and for us. Your kindness, dedication, and support makes a real difference and we are proud to be a part of your big mission. It's rare to find a place that feels like home so far from home, but the people around the organization have truly become our family. We carry these moments and relationships with us in our hearts.
