This experience was unbelievable. You get to live in a community so different in every aspect from what you are used to, which is extremely precious. You can contribute playing with and (trying) to teach the kids, and your money actually helps Jovin and Lina with their projects - and maintaining themselves. I found the area extremely safe too. The accomodation is decent and food quantitatively enough to survive, but be mindful before getting there that it's not a 5 stars resort.

My experience volunteering with Ayodo was such an incredible experience! First of all, the children are full of energy and curiosity, and it's wonderful to see how they grow and thrive with the support they receive. The volunteers and staff are dedicated and passionate, creating a warm and very welcoming environment. Their hard work and commitment make a significant difference in the lives of these children. It is inspiring to work alongside such motivated people who genuinely care about the community. I am grateful to contribute and learn from these amazing people and children!!! :)

My time with Joseph and Jovin was an experience I would never forget. Spending 2 1/2 weeks in Tanzania on my first WP experience was one of the best experiences in my life and it was a home away from home. The children are so loving and it was amazing to teach them, they are so enthusiastic to learn and I am going to miss them- I didn't want to leave. Immersing into the culture was an experience and learning the traditions too. I highly recommend this project to everyone! Although I didn't get to meet Elina, she is a communicative host and an amazing person! I wish I stayed for longer!

This experience was incredibly great! The children were all really sweet and grateful. The hosts (josef and jovin) were amazing! Josef was always in a good mood, always drove us everywhere and cooked very well. The two of them also helped us organize activities in our free time. I had a lot of fun and luck with the other volunteers!! I definitely recommend it!

I spent 2 weeks with Elina, Jovin and Joseph in the local village of Chamazi. It was one of the best experiences of my life. From the first moment I felt at home and I never felt alone. If we wanted to do something on the weekend, the hosts were happy to do it us or at least help us arrange everything we needed (e.g. trip to Safari or Zanzibar). I really enjoyed teaching the children at school. It was mostly up to us what specifically and how we will teach them. Joseph or Jovin accompanied us to school every morning and picked us up afterwards. I truly recommend this experience to everyone! ♥️
