Great Volunteering experience in Tanzania:

“It is not easy to find words to describe what I have experienced while volunteering internationally for two months in Tanzania. An experience so enriching, so moving .. that helped me realize that we can be happy with so little. Joining a program with Villages Health Support Organization allows you to get in touch with the reality of what underprivileged people encounter daily.

You get a taste of culture by living with host families and visiting various places in the country. Also, the fact that I was able to take part in so many different projects such as a disabled school, an orphanage, a school for slum children, local small village clinic, was amazing. I spent most of the time helping out in the school for street children, and even though the children and I did not really speak the same language, communication was not an issue and I got really attached to them.

These children were filled with joy, and by wearing uniforms and having a place to be during the day like regular children, they just get to enjoy all normal things that children enjoy like learning, being creative, making friends and so on. During my stay in Tanzania I got to meet inspiring people who devoted their lives to helping others and making the world a better place. I strongly recommend to everyone who wants to help others, or as a matter of fact, help themselves, to come to Tanzania and volunteer abroad or internationally”
