My experience with THO was one of the most meaningful of my life. As a third-year medical student, I joined the hospital program, mainly in pediatrics, and found it both educational and eye-opening. Doctors and nurses were welcoming, supportive, and encouraged supervised hands-on practice. Beyond the hospital, I shared unforgettable moments with amazing people through safaris, trips to Zanzibar, city tours, and evening activities. At home, Angela's warmth and delicious meals made us feel cared for. I also thank Dr. William, who was always present and supportive. I truly recommend this program!

This experience was absolutely amazing, it exceeded all of my expectations! I can't say one bad thing about it. The other volunteers I met are really great and interesting people, my host family was always very kind and supportive (even the neighboring host family was so sweet towards me). The doctors and nurses at the hospital also love to help and educate students. We had a different activity organized every day, it's a great opportunity to meet other volunteers. And Dr William is amazing, he is always very helpful, kind, great at communicating and flexible.

I spent 3 weeks volunteering with the Samaritan organization, and it was a lifetime experience! You will not come back the same person as you were before, the kids were amazing, we always spent great time together. The staff also help you with anything you need and you get very tasty homemade food 3 times a day, already missing it all 🥹 hope to see you again next year!

This experience was one of the most amazing and fulfilling experience I've ever done in my life. I learnt a lot of things about healthcare and grew more mature. The hosts were really welcoming. (Thank you Asha for everything! 🫶🏼) Overall, I would really recommend it for anyone wanting to work in the medical field, no matter the age or level of study.
