Teaching Volunteer Programs in Africa

It’s absolutely fantastic here. The atmosphere is brilliant and everyone, from the staff to the other volunteers, has been so kind and welcoming. I’ve loved working with the kids and being a part of something positive. It’s been a rewarding and enriching experience so far, and I’m grateful to Oyster for making this opportunity possible.

My adventure with ivhq was amazing! It is the first time that I travel as a solo female traveler. I encountered a lot of stress. But before the program starts you are already very well supported! I could always ask Marianne questions and I could always call her if I was stressed or needed reassurance. Also during my stay in Tanzania I was very well supported by the local team. They were always there for us. I really liked that someone came to check on the school every week to see if everything was going well. Even if you go alone, you definitely do not feel alone with all these warm people around you. I have built friendships for life here.If I could go again. I would enjoy every moment even more. I have been in Tanzania for a total of 3 months. In the middle of my adventure I sometimes had a hard time with homesickness. That is why I could not enjoy the full 100 percent. I regret it because now I want to go back every day. I miss it terribly.
