Nisa and her family were excellent hosts, so welcoming as soon as I got there and throughout the whole experience were making sure I was settled and had things to do. The teaching itself was such a great experience and in my spare time I had chances to visit lots of different places and things nearby. I couldn't recommend it enough, such a great experience!

It was an incredible experience, Nisa and her family are so welcoming you will feel at home. The kids at the school are really cute, the teachers are so nice and funny. It is the best place if you want to spend time with kids and immerse yourself in the local culture.

Nisa you are an absolute legend! You are managing a whole school, a 1 month old and us volunteers. You make sure we are well looked after, fed,safe and give us great advice and recommendations. You are very clear with telling us what we have to do and helping us with the teaching. You have such a wonderful family and it has been such an incredible experience. My first volunteering experience and won't be my last.

I had an incredibly wonderful week with Nisa, Melina, Malik and grandma!! What a lovely place with incredibly kind people full of energy! I immediately felt at home here, and I am very grateful for this experience!! This was my first time teaching, but I had a really positive experience, thanks to the other teachers and the family. The children are so sweet and enthusiastic, which makes the experience even more fun, of course :)). Thank you all for your the good time and for all of your good care this past week!!

Joining KGIS and becoming part of this family has been one of the most heartwarming experiences of life. From the very first moment, they welcomed me and treated me as part of the team and their (crazy) family. Always supportive and caring, they truly deserve all the love and appreciation in return. Working at the school is so much fun—the kids are amazing, and this experience gives back so much more than you could ever imagine. I adore you all with all my heart, my crazy family! 🫶🏼 And welcome to this world, Ari!
