I had the absolute pleasure of staying with Stacy, and honestly, she’s such an amazing host! From the very first day, she made me feel completely welcome and part of the family.
We even got to travel to Nairobi together, which was such a fun and memorable trip. Stacy showed me so much — not just around the city, but I also learned a lot about… read more

We had the privilege of hosting Johanna at our new facility in Guu for three weeks, and honestly, it was such a wonderful experience. She’s kind, positive, easy-going, and just the type of volunteer anyone would be lucky to have around.

She came at a time when most of our girls were in school, with only three older girls and their kids at home,… read more but she immediately jumped in and made herself super useful. She spent time teaching Vivian (who’s waiting to join school next year) Mathematics, CRE, and English. She also stepped up big time when we received a lost-and-found child from the Department of Children Services.She handled the case with the Children’s Office on her own, with so much professionalism and care.

Johanna also embraced our sports program with so much energy. Not only did she support the kids in soccer training, but she even bought equipment for badminton and volleyball, and helped supervise the daily training sessions at the facility. Thanks to her, I even got to visit Decathlon for the first time 😂.

And as if that wasn’t enough, she noticed how much laundry was taking up the girls’ time, and decided to buy us a huge washing machine so the girls could focus more on their studies. It’s still new to us 😅, but it’s already a blessing and will definitely serve its purpose in the long run.

She fit in so easily with both the staff and the girls. Whether it was cheering the Kenyan team at the stadium, taking the girls out for fun, or just being there for them every day, she always had their happiness at heart. That’s something really special about her.

The girls also loved her cooking especially her spaghetti, which became such a hit that some would sneak out in the night just to grab extra plates 😂. And she was so sweet with the little ones, Baby Gift (our “crying hero” 😅) and Baby Cecilia, caring for them with so much patience and love.

Johanna is flexible, hardworking, fun, and incredibly friendly. She won hearts not only in our home but even in town.Everyone wanted to be her friend. Hosting her wasn’t just about having a volunteer, we gaining a real sister and friend.

We are so grateful for the time we had together, and we already miss her a lot. Even the community keeps asking, “Where is our mzungu?” 😅. Johanna, you’ll always have a family here in Oyugis. We wish you all the best back home and can’t wait to see you again.

Highly, highly recommended to any host, you’ll be very lucky to have her!
