Easy breezy days by Nata River with a fun, thoughtful and generous host and his band of well-loved furry creatures. The location is ideal - tucked away in nature, but so close to town, main road, and a supermarket. I de-cluttered and re-organized the office and the kitchen, painted a bunch of signs, helped out guests, took pictures for social… read more

Anna was an absolute joy to have at the House! From the moment she arrived, she brought such a positive and uplifting energy. She was an incredible asset to us, dedicating her time to teaching two of our staff massage and yoga—skills they otherwise wouldn’t have had access to. Her patience and diligence in her lessons made such a meaningful… read more

A truly lovely and tranquil stay with Petra, James and Mwamba in their countryside sanctuary. They were each so warm, genuine, welcoming, and great to converse with. I taught sessions of massage and yoga every day, and helped research and think through the wellness program in development for the resort. So much potential... Very grateful for my… read more

Sandrine’s beautiful organization does groundbreaking and acutely important work on mental health awareness and education in a very tough context.

The experience with Anna was awesome. She made an otherwise complex organing task flow effortlessly. Really, it was a bada Bing bada boom kinda activity. We had great energy and clear communication.
Anna, has great insights and is an enthusiastic team player.

A total delight! Bujianna’s urban homestead is a dynamic, creative and ambitious endeavor that sets up a new standard for sustainable living, building and farming in Zambia. Bujianna is so inspiring with her badass vision and NYC work ethic - and yet so easy, fun, warm and flexible to work with.

I learned a ton about various green practices by… read more

Such a brilliant organization! In my two weeks here I had a chance to see Peter in action on a daily basis and I was so impressed by his vision, clarity, diligence, and determination with growing and expanding the NGO. The students I met had learned so much in just two months - going from no IT skills at all to a level of competence and… read more

Ms. Betty is a powerhouse! I had a lovely time (even if too short!) at the school teaching 3rd grade class to such bright, welcoming and motivated students. The whole staff is very kind and Headmaster George was particularly helpful. The school is a bit far from center (with traffic especially) so I explored around during the weekend and on… read more

Anna was AMAZING! She singlehandedly did the work of 10 highly-skilled professionals! We had specific areas regarding technology and social media that we have been struggling with, and she solved these issues and gave us sustainable solutions that will help us for years.

She is a joy to be around, always smiling and encouraging, and our family,… read more

Mary and Daniel are the real deal! Their dedication to children’s health, safety, well-being and education is remarkable and very inspiring. I was welcomed with open arms and had the best time hanging out with them at the school, at their home, and all around Cape Coast and beyond. I learned so much in two weeks and wish I could’ve stayed longer.… read more
