Tanzania - Kilimanjaro Teaching and Community Involvement

Of course, the most memorable was visiting the schools in the near by villages. I loved the bus ride to the schools because I was able to get a glimpse of the daily lives of the people of Zanzibar. I enjoyed staying in the home with the other volunteers. I got to meet people from Portugal, Spain, Belgium, France, Finland, and the Netherlands. I am not going to lie, when I first arrived I was nervous and was asking myself what had I gotten myself into especially because I had gone alone. But it was one of the best decisions I’ve made and I will remember this experience for many years. I enjoyed meeting the coordinators who were locals as well as the ladies who went to cook and clean each day. The children at the school were lovely and so welcoming. I got the chance to stay for 2 weeks and wish I could have stayed longer. If I did it again, I’d for sure go for at least 3-4 weeks and I would recommend others to that as well.

I had an amazing experience teaching the Masai and nursery children in Moshi! Everything was very well organised for both GoEco and African Impact, and all the pre-departure info was very helpful. I met so many lovely volunteers from around the world, and the community were so welcoming and grateful for us being there - it was nice seeing the difference we had made! I am already thinking about going again next summer! Thank you GoEco and African Impact for allowing me to have such a good time out in Tanzania - I will never forget the people I met out there nor the memories I made!
