Vom Workawayer (Kim Sarah) für Host

I spent three weeks at the children village and completely fell in love with the children! Their faces and smiles will be dearly missed! They made my day every day! It’s been a pleasure experiencing the easy going Hakuna Matata-mentality while caring for the kids! Since I have seen and heard of horrible life circumstances of kids with special… read more

Vom Host für Workawayer (Mateja)

There is actually only one sentence to say: "Come back Mateja, pleeease!!!"
From the first moment I knew that Mateja will make our children and people so happy, because Mateja has such a warm and friendly personality that we really miss her. Hope next time she can stay even longer with us. Welcome again! :-)

It took me a while to write this because life back home is super busy, but time didn't chance my feelings about this experience. I absolutely LOVED it at childrens village. Nicole gave me all support I needed before comming and also took her time when I was there to make my experience even better. It was a culture shock first day or two, it was my… read more

Vom Host für Workawayer (Seni James )

I can highly recommand Sen to any workaway host as he is such a friendly, open minded and helpful young Tanzanian! It is sad to hear from him that many other places in Tanzania would not take him as they would only take foreigners instead of local volunteers like him. So they will never know which opportunity they are missing as Sen is really… read more

It was my first workaway experience and it was a rewarding one week, Mama Julie is a busy woman but always has a time when you need her, she's helpful and supportive to volunteers and everyone at the village. Children are lovely and shiny (shout out to Mamas in all houses), I was able to help at the construction site as well and builders were nice… read more

Vom Host für Workawayer (Penny)

Thank you very much Penny for spending time with our children! Penny was so much patient in interacting with our children and promoting their individual skills even though they cannot walk or talk. During her stay her main concern was how to put a smile on our children's faces and how to show them love and dedication. Especially our Kelvin would… read more

Thank you Nicole for welcoming me to your home and project. My time here will forever be etched in my mind as one of the most rewarding experiences so far.

To other volunteers looking for a meaningful opportunity, coming to this place would be one of the highlights in your life.

The project sits on the outskirts far from the city lights of Dar… read more es Salaam. Even so, it's very easy to get to and from the city and beautiful beaches, on your time off.

Nicole, the founder, is a selfless individual who is open to all suggestions and observations for the children. She very much values input and 100% understands the importance of volunteers. I'm truly amazed at her kindness, as well as her dedication to helping these children who have been shunned by the African society (and Indian, as she also has a home for disabled orphans in Delhi, India).

She is easily accessible, as her office/room is in the volunteer house (which, by the way, is very modern). There are 4 rooms, 2 bathrooms, and an open air common room. It's quite lovely with African pictures painted on the walls.

The children are well taken care of and get much special attention in regards to physio, speech and massage therapy.

Children are such innocent little beings that make loving them so easy:heart: Oh my gosh, these little ones are vulnerable and so open for your love. Many are severely disabled and require so much attention. You will leave a piece of your heart here, for sure. Even though your main task is to feed and play with the children, don't take it lightly because it requires much patience and love.

Volunteers are assigned to specific children, usually those that are easier to feed/communicate with. The house I was in had 6 children, a house mom and an assistant care giver (which is pretty much the same for each of the four houses). My little one (well not so little) was Kevin. If you get the opportunity to take part in his day.... enjoy his, haha, bursts of energy. Just the thought of them, as I write this reference, makes me laugh (and cry because he has taken a piece of my heart). Even though he can not talk, he understands and you will easily see when he does. He loves the dogs, 'dancing' and rockin' to the music, 'playing' (meaning watching them play) with the children of the workers, and is so smart and learns very quickly when you take the time to teach him something new. Oh, he LOVES having his back scratched!!!! All the children in my house are beautiful :grinning::grinning:....sweet little Petro, Eric (haha.... what can I say about Eric other than a ball of happy energy), beautiful Baracka who seems to live in his own imaginary world (you'll understand if you are in the same house as I was), oh my gosh.... adorable little Conso (I giggle just thinking about her rolling from one place to another and her happy being), and Queen....quiet little Queen.

Each and every child has something unique and special to share with you. I hope you take the opportunity to embrace them and their world. I feel that you'll appreciate every moment.

Thank you again, Nicole, for your selfless act of humanity, for such a rewarding experience, giving me rides here and there, going to the beach, letting me be a part of your birthday celebration, and anything else that I've forgotten to say thank you for.

I look forward to maybe seeing you in Namibia, India or Tanzania again.

Vom Host für Workawayer (Murat)

We were very happy that Murrat stayed several weeks in our children's village. He came with many ideas and he was totally flexible in regard to his tasks. So don't be surprised if he offers you help in the kitchen, in renovation, in video shooting or in environmental matters. He has plenty ideas of how to make our children as well as our staff… read more

First of all, I would like to thank to Nicole for giving me a chance to volunteer for her great organisation. She deserves a big appreciation for this initiative which she brought into life from a scratch. She literally set up a small village for orphans, most are with multiple disabilities. Now, she is the mom of more than 20 children. It was a… read more

I stayed at the village for two weeks. It's impressive to see and hear what Nicole has experienced and what she built up!
She gave these multiple disabled orphans a new lovely home and caring “family“.
I enjoyed my stay a lot. You spend a lot of time feeding the children, because they can't eat by themselves. But for sure there is enough time to… read more

We are so happy that Jaine found the way to us! She was a great entertainer, very funny and lovable person! When she danced Capoeira for us, used a bucket as drum while she sang with our children, it was really a great and special afternoon, she is a perfect performer. I loved it how spontaneous she is as she quickly decided to go fpr six months… read more
