Je suis restée 3 semaines à la ferme Saint Pierre en Octobre 2020.

Je suis très ravie d'avoir découvert cet endroit magique entouré de nature et d'animaux.

Dormir dans une yourte au milieu des chevaux, se réveiller chaque matin avec un magnifique sunrise, pratiquer le yoga à plusieurs avec Carina, clients et volontaires ou en solo.

Jenny was a great personality to have around on the land. She turned her hand to any job eagerly, always ready for the next task to tackle and was a positive presence to be around. To this day I'm still making the rice salad that you came up with, super yum!!

My time at Iddy and Nathan's camp was wonderful! I felt very welcomed straight away and they made me feel at home. Their lovely and so sweet baby, Natasha and all the staff were great.
I was the only volunteer at the time I was there but I was able to work with Iddy sometimes, who is a passionate and fun young mum.

They have a lot of ideas and… read more

Dear Jenny, warm greetings from Uganda. Thank you so much for all the support and work you did with the organisation. However, there is need to take decisions to make planning easy. For Jenny, we had waited for over several times (like five times) from December and she couldn’t show up. On the last occasion, there was a volunteer who was also… read more

My experience with this organization was disappointing. Regarding to all the excellent feedback and the description and projects of this NGO, I didn't expect leaving earlier. I suppose I arrived not at the good time.

I stayed only 2 weeks in Wakiso district, at Josephine and Robert's house. Josephine welcomed me very well with a big smile and I… read more was so excited to start a new volunteering experience in Uganda. The house is clean and tidy, I shared a room with another volunteer.

The first and second day we went to the office where we did few hours of office work. (transcription on computer). They ask me to pay the whole amount of the time I will spend with them. I didn't know how long I will stay here and we didn't even discuss about the projects I will work on therefore I didn't want to pay one month so I paid 2 weeks. Josephine was upset about the payment and if I wanted to go to Hoima, as she said to me, I need to pay at least for one month. For me, it was not the problem about the money but about, what will I work for? which projects are there in Hoima?

We had a meeting at the office with the staff but it was unclear and we didn't talk about what the volunteers will do. With a volunteer, we did 2 days of gardening and planting tomatoes.
We waste a lot of time at the office, doing nothing and just waiting for instructions. it looked like they didn't know what to do with us. They keep accepting volunteers every week but the problem is, they don't have work for them.

The food was ok, not very varied and I regret mostly we got dinner very late not before 9.30. Sometimes we had only bread and tea for breakfast with late lunch at 3pm. These are just ascertainment and it's my first workaway experience in Africa so I cannot compare.
I spent my second week at the school near by the house, I enjoyed it, it was good to spend time with the pupils but I was not really useful again. However, the teachers and head teacher were so nice and welcoming.

I regret than I didn't know properly what I will do each day, it was unorganized and erractic most of the times and I felt very useless and unproductive. The communication between Josephine and the office is none. Many time we were supposed to work on a project and we ended doing not much. I waited to get a specific program but it never came up. I decided to leave earlier and going to another NGO where at the moment everything is perfect.

I stayed a week in August with Diana's family in Bethlehem. I join Nathan on his feedback, my time was not really enjoyable.

First of all, despite the dogs' conditions in the shelter, I loved taking care of them, I took the dogs out, washed them, played with them. I got since my first day very well connected with them. It was not easy at all… read more
