Eye-opening, but not as expected. Pros: -Lessons can be made w/ little experience -Actual host family welcoming/helpful -Students always excited to see you and learn Cons: -Description doesn't match expectations -No curriculum, so lesson is 100% on volunteer -I taught w/o any assistance from day 1; teachers seem to think volunteers are there to give them a break,not assist. -Village is more remote than expected.Hr south of Dar, doable on weekends only -Never met listed host, only interaction was his constant following/unfollowing on IG; very uncomfortable as solo female

The organization and his family are just wonderfull. I felt home as soon as I arrived. I love the atmosphere at home, it is in a cozy little town. Mama Africa let me cook a lot and I learned so much! We also went on a trip together to Kariakoo. During the day, I would recommend to combine this with some volunteering too.

The organization and his family are really welcoming and do everything possible to make people feel at home. The children at the school are awesome and i had a good time working with them a bit, language barrier was tough for me though.

The organization es muy querido y atento, la casa esta bien y tiene duchas y baños... Adaptarse es difícil al principio pero después es una experiencia muy enriquecedora, los niños son un amor!
