It was a fantastic and experience with Omary. He is a super nice host & brought joy and happiness to us everyday! During my stay, I could feel his respect and care towards volunteers, and whatever we ask he will try his best to help! About the work, Mama the organization Community is an NGO that truly helps people in need and financially supports the kids to go get educated. I've had several volunteering experiences in Tanzania but he is the only one I see that spends all the donations to the kids without leaving a single bit for himself. The kids are so adorable, unforgettable & highly recommended!

MamΓ‘ the organization community was my first volunteer experience in my life, so with a lot of fears, I decided to take the plunge and live this experience. It was the best decision I made; I met very nice people, made friends, and had a very local experience in a very safe way. I'm leaving with a lot of gratitude for the people who hosted me and with a strong desire to return.

Omi es una gran persona y esta muy implicado con los niΓ±os ,al de verdad le importa que los niΓ±os tengan una buena educaciΓ³n y que tengan materiales y una infancia digna ,si te gustan los niΓ±os y promover sus derechos recomiendo este sitio ya que en otros voluntariados de la zona realmente al huΓ©sped no le importan los niΓ±os o no se involucran,pero en el caso de este voluntariado a Omi realmente le importan los niΓ±os y es su pasiΓ³n y realmente el dinero va destinado a los niΓ±os y a materiales para ellos ,un buen lugar para dar una ayuda real
