To the most rewarding, touching and powerful experience of my life. To Lydia and Emma who warmly welcomed me and to the unique bonds created with the children at home: Mwenja, Jeremy, Chris, Regard, those at school: Darius, Cyprien..., the teachers: especially Rebecca and Ariette and the volunteers (to Vanessa my twin). I'll never forget you, you've all marked me with your kindness, good humor and love. Just thank you and Onona.

It was a very impressive experience! If you love children, this place is like heaven. The children here love our volunteers. Sometimes when the water doesn't come out and the lights go out, the people here are positive, and you can also think twice about your attitude in life. If you come here, make sure you think about what you can do as a volunteer and act.

For me volunteering with the organization was a super positive experience. The children at school are great you can feel the desire to learn. Preparing lessons and teaching is an experience to try. Lydia and Emma are very ambitious and determined people with a kind heart. The family at home became my second family. Thanks for everything guys❤️

Mi experiencia fue de las mejores de mi vida. El trabajo que ahí se hace para brindarles un mejor presente y futuro a los chicos de la región es incalculable. La casa se siente como un hogar. Cada uno de los anfitriones hace que la experiencia sea increíble. Y me tocó un grupo hermoso de voluntarios. En la escuela el trato con los voluntarios es excelente y te dan un lugar de gran importancia. Los chicos son lo más lindo que hay. Volvería una y mil veces, porque es una experiencia con todas las letras. Gracias Emma, Lydia y a toda la familia por la calidez, la amabilidad y el cariño.

It was one of the best decisions I've ever made - to come to volunteer in this project! the team and people in general in Uganda are amazing! the hosts are interested in making your time there as best as it's possible! you feel like you MAKE A CHANGE and that's so wonderful! everything is planned and you see how the project is progressing!!! I would definitely recommend it for everyone! you would not regret it! the living conditions are rural and quite simple - but frankly don't even think about this! get a ticket plane and come to Uganda to help the guys make a change!

This experience was very multifaceted; it was fun, resilience-building, enriching, confronting at times, and incredibly eye-opening. I am so glad I did it. I learnt much about Uganda, its culture and how quality education is inaccessible for so many children. This was my first time volunteering/visiting Africa, and Emma/Lydia and everyone in their family welcomed me with open arms. They are kind and generous people who will consider you as family. Their commitment to improving the children's lives through education and engagement is truly commendable. Thank you so much for hosting me.

Muy buena experiencia personal pero lamentablemente la organización y la gente a cargo de la ONG no los vi interesados en el futuro de los niños sino en conseguir dinero para la escuela y para los gastos asociados a su casa, ya que viven del dinero de la escuela. No necesitan gente que les ayude a construir ni que enseñe a los niños, solo necesitan gente que les recaude más dinero. La ONG y lo que aportan los voluntarios es tiempo con los niños y dinero para que los niños que no pueden permitirse ir al colegio y comer lo hagan. El ambiente no fue bueno en la casa.☺️

you were self centered person with your girlfriend, not social with us and selfish, its sad for you to say that we are not interested in the children future when you don't know how we started. you even didn't take time to know what plans we have for them, your thinking is not our thinking. saying that we only care about money sorry for you. we didn't ask any money from you, and no donations you offered to us
and to let you know and understand no organization or project that works without money
if you cant support financially just be silent
we do need volunteers with an open to help not to have cheap stay,
that's why you didn't see that we need help in construction, teaching, game and sports, photography, social media
you purpose was to travel not to help

Lamentablemente no vi a los responsables de la ONG comprometidos con el colegio. No necesitan personas que les ayude a construir a enseñar, solamente necesitan financiación. No estaba definido donde iba destinado el dinero. En cuanto a la convivencia en varias ocasiones los responsables de la ONG generaron mal ambiente entre los voluntarios y con los habitantes de la casa, hasta llegar al punto de ni decir buenos días o adiós el día de salida. En cuanto a mi experiencia fue genial, pero no recomiendo este voluntariado.

am more then concerned about the school, we do need volunteers that are willing to do with an open heart, not volunteers who just come for cheap stay, take photos, pretend that they have come to help yet no
our finances are well explained in our pages, remember you were eating, using the water, power, sleeping, construction going on, school running that automatically explains the finances
we didn't create a bad atmosphere for you its you that created it since you were not social with us, selfish and only speaking in Spanish and only thinking of partying.
we didn't say bye because we didn't know of your departure plans you and your boyfriend didn't recognize us as hosts you were self centered

The project is really nice, and Emma is a great host! But Lydia made things at home feel uncomfortable. Me and other volunteers felt pressured to raise a lot of money to be seen as good volunteers, which is sad because we came to the organization with different expectations. When we did activities outside of work hours, we always felt guilty because of her, which is very unfortunate as we had no bad intentions but were portrayed as bad volunteers… I the organization Lydia's behavior changes towards the volunteers because it greatly affects the experience. Still, I'll never forget this experience ❣️
