Nature, blue ocean and lovely people

December 28, 2023by: Hannah Spies - GermanyProgram: Volunteer Abroad in Zanzibar with African Impact

I had just an amazing time with lots of nice and unforgettable experiences. It was my first trip to a country in the global South. I volunteered in two projects. For one month, I assisted two primary schools and one school for adults to teach them in English and German. The other month I volunteered in a dolphin protection project, where i have learned a lot about the ocean. Espacially for people, who didn't travel in the global south yet, it is a good start because the team try to feel you as comfy as possible and are always there to help or give you tips and advice.

Girl empowerment, December 2017

For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to volunteer. When I read about African Impact and the Girl Empowerment program, I knew it was perfect for me. I was sure that I was going to have amazing trip, but I had no idea how much I would fall in love with Moshi and the people I met here. Not only did I learn about new culture, but I learned so many things about myself. No doubt this was the greatest experience of my life and I will come back next year. Thank you African Impact for this opportunity and for the amazing work you do.

As this was my first trip away from my country, it was definitely a difficult one. But the African Impact team of Zanzibar made the experience amazing. I couldn't have asked for a better project to get me out of my comfort zone and encourage me in my journey of experiencing a new culture. Thank you African impact, you all do an amazing job and I am in awe of what the Jambiani team do for their community. Jambiani will always have a special place in my heart.
