Staying with Joseph and Jovin has been wonderful! From the very first days you feel taken care of and your needs are always heard and met. As the time goes by you quickly develop the feeling of being a member of their family. Additionally, it's visible that they really love to host volunteers and are always looking for ways to entertain you, like doing different weekend trips, or show you the local culture, including foods, traditions etc. The work with children is SO LOVELY and fulfilling, I truly enjoyed every minute I spent with them and learned a lot myself. I the project to return soon!! :))

Volunteering with ayodo was the best experience of my life. It was a dream of mine to volunteer abroad, and I don't think I could have chosen a better place. I was welcomed with the greatest love and friendliness, and I came away with tears in my eyes from the happiest memories of my life. I'm eternally grateful and it's certainly a place I want to return to one day. I would recommend it to anyone who wants a real experience with children and local life in Africa. I can only say thank you 🙏💛💛💛

We were warmly welcomed. Joseph is an amazing host who will make you feel at home. At first it was a bit of a shock that A LOT of the included things didn't exist. Especially that there was no WiFi. Nevertheless Joseph always looked after us and if we wanted to go somewhere he accompanied us. Joseph is kind, funny, very positive and always has an open ear if something doesn't fit. The project was really great and the children are really lovely. They have so much energy. It was also amazing to learn more about the culture and traditions. I'm grateful for this experience! Thank you again Joseph

It was a great experience to be the project's first volunteer in Dar es Salaam. With the help of Jovin he also learned a lot about being a host. They took care of us when I was really sick for example and they tried everything to help me to get better. The Project in the school was amazing and we achieved a really great impact. the project is a really kind- hearted, funny and always positive person. the project can still improve in communicating with the volunteers about informations we need. Other than that i am really grateful for this experience and i am so proud of our social impact in Chamazi.
