The kids are amazing and deserve all the support and attention they can get. If you love playing with kids and supporting them, you will have a wonderful time. The reason I only gave 3 out of 5 stars is because of the management behind the organization. Here not only I, but others of the 17 (!) volunteers have strong doubts about the charitable motivation. The constant increase of daily fees and the invitation of more and more volunteers suggests economic motives. Nevertheless, I would like to motivate to participate in the program - for the children!

Thank you Alex for your feedback and we real appreciate your opinions and point of view about our Organization..

We believe that to work with international volunteers will make a great impact to the education and live of our children since all of our children are coming from poor families, they need love and motivation for them to create dreams of their better future.

Invitation of many volunteers during this summer of 2023 was also based to motivate more children in different schools which we are working with them apart from our Main school which run under our Organization.. As you did in Simplex school was absolutely amazing to the kids and they still have all the great memories you shared together with them..

The daily fees are splitted for providing you with good accommodation and meals as well as a source of fund to run our project for all the year since we don't sustainable fund to run our school programs.

We real appreciate for your contribution fees which still make the project to continue, without your support then we couldn't able to provide services to the children

Thank you so much and we wish you all the best in your future

Overall, this was an amazing trip. The children are absolutely incredible and are so inspiring to be with. My main issue was during my 3 week stay, 2 weeks of this, the children were on holidays in all schools but one. I wasn't overly impacted by this as the school I was located in was open, however, there was now 14/16 volunteers all in one school. So, most of the time there was very little to do as there was too many people. I would have been happy to schedule my trip in different weeks had I known that these holidays were on. There was also 3 days where there was no school at all.

I had a great time with emma and his family! they were great hosts and emma an even better teacher with always an open ear to listen. I experienced the most authentic version of the tansanian daily life and had so much fun with the very energetic, very kind kids. I learned a lot about Africa and their traditions and would recommend it to anybody who wants to have a local experience!

I couldn't have asked for a better experience at Samaritan the organization Centre. Emmanuel and his family were perfect hosts, very welcoming and through my weeks I really felt as though I was a part of the family. I worked on social media and also taught each day in the school. With the school being so close to the house, it was very convenient getting between them. I enjoyed meeting other teachers and lots of locals within the community - giving me a real 'local' Tanzanian experience. Emmanuel helped organise many activities during days off too. 10/10 experience 🌟🌟🌟

You really should visit Samaritan volunteers to feel what I am about to write. (Writing it just doesn't do it justice). The Host, was very hospitable. It truly felt like home away from home!. He is a kind young man doing his best to give back to his community. I honestly look forward to going back and spending a longer time. The school, the kids are lovely! The school really could use alot of volunteers! And donations!. But Emma is really doing a great job. The community is safe. They are welcoming. They seem to be appreciative of what Emma is doing.

It was an incredible experience! 1)Emma was a perfect host. He does everything, EVERYTHING, to make the volunteers feel happy and welcomed. 2) The project is amazing and very organized. Children are wonderful and committed. It was a pleasure to work at the school and I learned a lot there. 3) The interaction with other volunteers was very pleasant. 4) In this job I had a very deep cultural immersion and I experienced something I had never experienced before.

I could have wonderful experiences throughout my 5-week stay. It was fun and difficult to teach children, but it was meaningful that I could feel children growing up, which gave me valuable awareness. Besides, staying with locals gradually made me feel what the background of problems in Tanzanian the organization is. Sometimes a host Emmanuel nicely takes care of the school children. Sometimes he strictly does. What matters is the children trust him. Locals know that. While he and I were walking in the village, their attitudes told me what they thought of him. That must help you stay comfortably.

Wow, what can I say? I have been at a loss for words since I got back home. The experience I've had with Samaritan volunteers is like no other. A truly deep and humbling experience and I would recommend to anyone. I felt safe in their hands as a travelling solo female and I felt like I could ask anything with no issues. The children at the school and everyone involved in the organisation are very friendly people and I would love to go back to help again. Thanks for everything Samaritan Volunteers!

Es una experiencia única, toda la organización es excelente, pude conocer la cultura y la salud con una experiencia inmersiva del país, al mismo tiempo te hace sentir con la seguridad de estar en casa, hay muchas actividades recreativas entre voluntarios y con los organizadores para poder aprovechar el tiempo libre de la manera que tu prefieras. En el hospital puedes aprender mucho con los pacientes y con el staff, todos te reciben con los brazos abiertos, en general te hacen sentir bienvenida donde estés. THO es una gran oportunidad para los voluntarios en muchos aspectos es espectacular.

Encantada con el voluntariado, con todos los que componen el equipo. Sin duda repetiré, me he sentido súper acogida, muy agusto en el colegio y realizando un impacto social real. Gracias a todos siempre.
