It was a really great experience and I would say that young people should do this. My hostel was great, I met great people of all over the world and I loved Arusha. Sarah and Emmanuel are the best hosts I ever met, very helpful. I felt very safe with them and learned much about the beautiful land and culture. Food was very good.

I've already traveled to Tanzania three times to volunteer with Giving Hands. Each time was absolutely wonderful and unforgettable. Sarah and Emmanuel are so kind, open and always there for you when you need something. The organization of the arriving and project was perfect all around, and the projects were fantastic, too. I've been to an orphanage for babies and hospitals several times. The staff there is very kind and incredibly grateful for any help. You stay in a beautiful hostel with a large garden and the opportunity to interact with other volunteers. They also offer some very cool excursions, which make the experience perfect. I highly recommend the organization and projects to everyone. You will kind of find a second home in Tanzania.
