Ali, Irene, Hawa, Lucy, Gaste and everyone else involved in the many projects of the community, I thank all of you for welcoming me into the community of Kibera and making me feel important and part of the beautiful things your organization is doing. The work the community does is incredibly essential, and anyone who volunteers their time and heart to them will almost certainly find their perspective on life changed forever

Volunteering at the community in Kenya through Worldpackers was life-changing. Abdul, Irene, Hawa, the teachers, cooks, and the entire team warmly welcomed me, making my stay unforgettable. The organization's dedication to uplifting the community is inspiring, and every moment spent helping with educational activities, daily tasks, or bonding with the children felt meaningful. Abdul's leadership and the team's kindness created a supportive environment. I highly recommend the community for anyone seeking to contribute to a worthy cause and experience the culture.

When I chose to apply for the community's the community project, I didn't even imagine what I would find here. It has been the most beautiful experience of my life. Abdul is the man with the biggest heart I have ever met in my life. Always ready to take care of you, to think of your safety and well-being first. Every person who works in the community is a blessing from God. Abdul, Irene, Hawa, Lillo, Gaste each one of them has taught me a lot this month. the community welcomes you as if you were one of the family, I felt at home. I am infinitely grateful to them for this experience.

Ali, is like a big brother to those around him. He took excellent care of me and always prioritized my safety while I was volunteering. The kids and people in the community were incredibly friendly, making the experience even more special. Abdul also made sure I was well-fed, which I really appreciated. I gained a deep understanding of the local living conditions and culture, which was truly enriching. There were a variety of activities to get involved, keeping every day engaging and fulfilling. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a meaningful volunteering experience!

Coming to kenya was a great experience and i can highly recommend for everyone who wants to contribute and enjoy kenya's local culture. The social project Abdul runs helps a lot of people from different ages through a feeding program, mentorships and women advocacy projects. I could interact with the amazing local community to learn many different aspects of kenyan life style. All the people i met were super welcoming, helping in anything necessary. Thanks for everything!! til next time
