We had the most amazing time at the project. After telling James the wrong time our flight was getting in, he came to the airport twice to get us! The whole family was really welcoming and helpful. The food was delicious and there were many volunteering options, with the opportunity to mix and match. We got immersed in the local culture, seeing areas such as Moshi and playing basketball with locals. 10/10 recommend the Krissi house!

The Kissiri-Family is amazing! I was welcomed with open arms and could have stayed definitely longer. James and his family are always eager to help and show you around or parts of their culture. Whether it is a day-trip, a safari or just some nice coffee places, James can organise or might join. Don't hesitate to ask, I felt the door was always open to talk. Will definitely come again. Asante Sana James & Family!

Staying with the Kissiri family was great! I stayed for two months and the family is really welcoming. You will taste the wonderful local cuisine and the family will help you with practicalities and exploring the region. However, there was not too much farming or construction work to be done. Usually we would go to the primary school in the morning and/or teach English at the community centre in the afternoon but you generally have a lot of freedom to decide on how you are spending your days there. Altogether, the love and positivity of the locals made it a truly unforgettable experience!

To be honest, every single moment is worth it there. The family is so nice to everyone. They have a spacious accommodations and gardens. Most importantly they day a lot of good effort to help the community in different parts, either the school, or building community centers and more and more plans in the future.

I enjoyed my stay there, they offer lots of activities like going to hot springs, waterfall, safari, Mount Meru it's great! But as far as volunteering goes, we don't do farming or gardening, we go to school (I don't think it's really good to do that). I was disappointed because I signed up to do ecological and not social action. Also you have to pay $10 a day for food, that makes sense, but you also have to pay that money if you are gone on safari for a few days or something, I don't understand why you have to pay when you are not staying.

Overall I had a good experience. However, just know if you sign up for the farm or construction you are likely still helping with the school for the majority of your time. I would also recommend that if you are traveling alone, like myself, that you ensure other volunteers will overlap with you as this greatly improves your experience! Also contact the host regarding when you plan to travel to ensure that there is indeed work for you to do.

It's been an amazing experience! I really felt the connection with the environment and the people, and fell in love with it. James and his family will do their best to make you feel comfortable and like "at home".
