A little piece of heaven in Africa”
August 09, 2014by: Živa Jakšić - LjubljanaI voulunteered in Moshi with African Impact for 1 month and it was too short. It was the best experience abroad in my whole life. I got to experience a new country in a way no turist can. Being a part of the community, being welcomed with a big smile and being appreciated is the best feeling in the world. I got to teach members of the Maasai tribe to read and write in swahiili witch to me was one of the best highlights. They are just a bunch of lovley people! I also taught english to kinds between the ages 2 - 5 and they are just adorable and full of energy! If you are in doubt, GO! I would strongly recommend this program to anyone!!! It was nzuri nzuri nzuri sana!
Great experience
December 30, 2015by: Joe_burgin - ZambiaVery easy and the staff are very friendly and helpful. The staff became more a family than a boss-like hierachy. I wouldn't worry about not fitting in. The staff are very flexible to your ideas and many of the ideas come from the volunteers but are guided by the staff. Which is important.
