I don't know where to start from the incredible experience I had. A month that changed my perspective on life. The work done by the organisation and the school is impressive and admirable. All the teachers and management made sure from day one that I was as comfortable, safe and relaxed as possible. From the beginning Miss Mery and Teacher Mercy talked to me about what activities were available at the school and what I could choose and also propose. The children are the most amazing thing you can imagine, they are very sweet and extremely happy to learn anything you can teach them.Thank you!

Great experience! I can get just thank Charles (director), his family and the entire organisation for every day learning and caring. the organization is a great country and its people just make it awesome! BOLI has a great purpose of helping street children and a great project of rehabilitating them so can be fitted into society again. I had a chance of experience it as close as possible, by visiting slums, doing outreaches, writing fund proposals and leaving into a traditional african family. This experience opened my mind to everything and made me set different priorities in life. Thank you BOLI!
