I spent three weeks volunteering at Christals Children Center. The children were full of joy, and the experience was truly heartwarming and eye-opening. Communication with the local staff was sometimes challenging due to the language barrier as they didnt speak english(although with signs and some words it is possible ;)). This experience taught me so much and really made me realize the hard life some kids have to go through. David was always ready to help me with everything I needed and his family really made me feel at home.Iwould recommend it to anyone looking to volunteer with purpose.

I truly enjoyed my the organization, David and his family are very kind, welcoming and helpful. Mim's cooking is absolutely exquisite and Brian the driver became a good friend. I was totally immersed into Ugandan culture and it was such an interesting experience !

My experience with the organization was incredible. It was wonderful to be with the children of the orphanage, they welcomed me with much affection and eager to learn and receive love. I feel happy to have been able to give them all my love and attention, and to have been able to be part of their lives, even if it was only for a few days. At David's house they welcomed me with love and were attentive to me at all times, thank you all for treating me so well. Special thanks to David for being so attentive to me and it possible for me to live this experience to the fullest, and for trusting me. Thx

It was so fun , I really felt so welcomed and respected , I loved my host family and how they let me feel at home, I loved being with the kids and help them how I could and would recommend it to everybody, Bryan (the driver) is super nice and David makes you feel really welcome at his home. It was really short but made me open my eyes for everything I have.

I had a wonderful time the organization at the organization! The school and the Chrystal Centre have the most incredible, smiley, and engaging children, who taught me about their life and welcomed me with open arms! I'd like to especially thank Mim, who was a lovely, kind host, Arnold for helping me settle in at the centre and teaching me about the importance of the world that the Chrystal Centre, and Brian who transported me safely and easily to work and back every day! An unbelievable experience!

This was my first experience and I kept my expactations low. David Kibalama met me at the Entebbe Airport and he was kind. He take to his house which was a homestay and I have met his 4 lovely children and the organization auinties living there. Everybody kind and nice. Next day he left to the center and told me caretakers speak and understand English. But no. At the center 21 children are living (youngest 18 months old, oldest 12 years old). I could not communicate with caretakers, the organization girls helped me. No orientation, no guiding. I was left alone. I tried to contact David but no respond for 6 days.

This the organization-week experience was a great life experience even if it was unfortunately too short. I took everyone into my heart so quickly because the host family and everyone in the orphanage made me feel very welcome and always made sure that I felt comfortable. Special thanks goes to Mim, Arnold and Brian the driver, who always drove me safely to work with the Bodaboda. Working at the center with the children was the most beautiful and emotional thing I have ever experienced. The children are such wonderful souls and are so trusting and I thank every child for the smiles, the fun and the love!

My time with the organization was definitely memorable. I had a ton of fun helping out with various ongoing projects. I spent the first week at Chrystal Children's Center where I did basic household tasks, taught and played with the kids. The second week I worked on the farm where I took care of the animals. The overall the organization with David's family was lovely! One thing to note is that the volunteering fee was a little bit more than what was indicated on the worldpackers posting, but nonetheless, it was still a great experience!

I had an absolutely amazing experience volunteering in the organization! Out of all the places I've volunteered before, the organization truly felt like home to me. I wish I could have stayed longer because David, his family, and the program staff were incredibly kind and welcoming. They made sure I felt comfortable both at the house and at my assignment location. Teaching, nurturing, and loving the children was an absolute honor. I am grateful for the opportunity to have made a positive impact and create lasting memories in the organization.
