This experience was truly eye-opening and inspiring. Our host family were incredibly welcoming and accommodating and made us feel completely at home. They also connected us with several children's schools where we had the opportunity and privilege to teach and connect and learn from the children. They have completely impacted us in the most positive sense and have left a mark on our hearts. We would love to visit Miss Maryam, our host family as well as the children again one day and could not recommend this opportunity enough, you will learn a lot by being here. From sis Nikola and Han ❤️

Marayam & the organisation was amazing. They were so welcoming & accommodating to all my needs. We went two school trips and I can see how happy the young students were. Teachers and students are very kind to the volunteers I highly recommend to volunteer.

I had the chance to spend 3 weeks in Zanzibar to help this local school. The principal of the school, Maryam, with whom I was accommodated, is an exceptional person. She is incredibly welcoming and dedicated to the school's educational mission. Her passion for education and her commitment to children are really inspiring. The school itself is a vibrant place for learning and growth. The children are curious, enthusiastic and motivated. In summary, it was a privilege to be part of this the organization, even for a short time !

Zanzibar is a beautiful island! Unfortunately we got sick after one week so couldn't stay for the whole period we signed up for, we stayed with the host at her house in a nice room, the family was really friendly and we loved to spend time with them and experience their culture. Thank you so much for having us

Unfortunately I fell sick before I could complete my stay here in Zanzibar, however I did complete 1 week at the school! The children took time to warm to us but once they did they were very fun and happy to play! We stayed with the host and family who were all really lovely and we enjoyed spending time with them all! The house was south of the town so had to get taxis if we wanted to do anything of an evening and the amenities listed weren't as accurate as we had hoped for, thank you for having us and welcoming us into your home!
