living conditions were much better than I expected

AIRPORT COLLECTION
The collection from the airport was well arranged, and very helpful in showing me where to exchange currency. The project briefing was informative and clearly explained the main objectives of the project and how activities were carried out.

ACCOMMODATION
Very good, any issues/problems I had with the homestay were dealt with professionally. Amir was a great help in supporting everyone with any queries. Location was great, could walk to work (if the sun wasn't trying to melt me that day) and was even walking distance to the city centre - but again I’m lazy and relied on Taxis. Our home mother at the homestay made the place very special, and the family was wonderful. Really appreciated the cold shower. Bring extra money for your own meals though, breakfast is very basic - toast. Dinner is interesting, a bit different but any future volunteers should push themself to try it all! Nothing ever tasted bad and even meat eaters were asked if they wanted seafood or not which was greatly appreciated - I feared, I would be eating fish with heads the whole time I was there but it was largely vegetarian meals.
The food and living conditions were much better than I expected and overall, I had a brilliant time and thoroughly enjoyed my time on project.

WORK
I worked with school in Dar-es-Salaam. The school is a little all over the place, but you get used to it and settle into TZ time - aka, slow paced life. The school project for me was very rewarding I made a real connection with the kids and was really sad to leave. Ubungo is a lovely town and all the people are so welcoming I didn’t feel unsafe once throughout my whole time on project.

SUPPORT
10++ for this one, Amir kept an eye on any illness or injury I had, from the tiniest little scrape to a suspected case of strep throat. My health seemed so important here and had a high priority as did my safety.

OVERALL
Amazing experience. So much free time and flexibility for you to go and explore the Tanzania. You learn so much about the culture here. I'd recommend it to all, just be prepared for a difference in setting as it is a low-income nation. This was my first ever time in a low-income (developing) country and it has really opened my eyes but in a positive way. The entire project for me was an experience I will never forget I loved every minute of it. I couldn’t tell you the best aspect as it was all amazing.

I would recommend Go Volunteer Africa to anyone

Go Volunteer Africa offers a fantastic opportunity to both people who are looking to make a difference in their own way, but also to people who want to progress further into their chosen fields of study and to have the opportunity to practically implement this in the field.

I was in Tanzania with Go Volunteer Africa for two months and working within the rural education development program there has been an absolute eye opener and one which has allowed me to experience many new things.

From the moment I arrived in Tanzania I was taken away by the beauty of our surroundings- the green forest surrounding the back of the home and our views out over the mountain and the surrounding areas.

Living within a local community has also been a real eye opener, seeing their way of life and how they have adapted to live in this paradise has been amazing- specially the way that they have allowed us to fit into their village and are willing to help us with anything we may need.

I have genuinely enjoyed every day of my stay there. The school staff are also extremely fun to work with and the mixture of people means that there is plenty to learn and never a boring moment.

I would recommend Tanzania to anyone, but be prepared for basic living standards! This is genuinely not a problem and I believe it has added to my experience there- but maybe bring a few luxuries from home with you!! Enjoy!
