Great experience! I was immediately welcomed in their family and stayed for 2 months. This NGO supports a lot of vulnerable families by providing the children school materials, shelter children in emergency situations… I really enjoyed getting to know these children and teaching them English. In addition to this group of children, we also went to a group of street children. It is very enriching to get to know them and their living situation Justin introduced me to the local culture and lifestyle. They also teached me a lot of Swahili! If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me!

It was a great experience volunteering with Justin, the project is really important and helps in the rescue and support of street children and also in other social projects in Mwanza. I stayed for 3 weeks and was very well received by Justin, Lucky, their children and their entire family. I believe that the schedule of activities to be carried out by volunteers should be improved and defined weekly.
