Aide
We use Montessori methodology when teaching the children, emphasizing independence and allowing them to learn through play. We also integrate practical activities, singing, dancing, and athletic activities into the curriculum to create more well rounded children. We hope that each volunteer who comes to stay with us will be able to contribute whatever skills they have. Previous volunteers have been able to teach swimming lessons, English, geography, math, etc., as well as assisting with monitoring the health of the children. We would like our volunteers to havea good handle on the English language. Those who are interested in working with the older students should be proficient in basic educational areas such as math, science and history. There are several special needs children attending the school, so any volunteers with knowledge specific to working with them would be warmly welcomed.

I spent 10 days working at this Montessori School with Peki. My time was incredible! Peki is very talkative, helpful, kind and open-minded person. It was my first experience with Montessori method - Peki introduced me, showed my everything and was a very big support for me. Thank you Peki for this time together!

Communication:
We originally contacted Peki and confirmed our stay by email in March and then kept in touch by WhatsApp for several months. Before arriving we had very limited access to internet and were feeling anxious and uncertain about exactly where we were going. Thankfully in the days before arriving to Dar Peki provided us with the address… read more

I most certainly enjoyed my stay with Peki and her family very much. Thanks to them I got the chance to experience the Tanzanian culture and even be a part of it. Peki and Richard are such nice people and they make you feel welcome at their home. Their children and all of the children at school are very sweet and lovely and I loved to spend time… read more with them. During my stay I taught English and helped Peki to observe the children regarding their development, academical progress, … Moreover, I created a story book with some of the children, which turned out very well. I can only admire the children's enthusiasm for learning. Even if teaching them sometimes can be quite exhausting it gives you a sense of satisfaction and that's what makes it really worth it.
The three weeks I spent with them were my first time ever to visit "the real Africa" so I didn't really know what to expect. Still, I thought they live in a big city and they have internet access so how different from Western standards could it really be!? Well, I was a little naive and therefore taken by suprise when I arrived and there was no shower, no "real toilet", no running water and no WIFI (I just add that because Peki's profile might be misleading regarding Internet access. Nearby, you can however buy data at a reasonable price). If you are sensitive to heat (especially during the night) you should maybe consider bringing a small fan. I have to admit my first thought was: How am I going to manage for three weeks? But the next morning it was just half as bad. I never would have believed I could get used to these conditions in almost no time. So DON'T LET IT STOP YOU and please, don't get me wrong, I don't want to criticise! It is Africa after all, where running water, electricity, etc. is not widely available yet. I just think it's important to know what you sign up for so nobody must be disappointed or complain afterwards.
For me it was a great experience and definitely worth it. I especially loved that other volunteers also stayed with Peki during the time I spent there. Therefore I not only had the luck of making friends from Africa but from all over the world, which I'm very thankful for. And these are just some of the reasons why I will never forget the amazing month I spent in Tanzania!
So if you are looking for a challenge and if you are interested in the lifestyle/values/... of a culture quite different from yours then visiting Peki and her family is definitely a great opportunity!

Laissé par le workawayer (Sarah & Steve) pour l'hôte

My husband and I spent two weeks here, which was overall a very positive experience that taught us a lot. Peki and her family were so welcoming and are more than happy to share their Tanzanian culture with us.

Accommodation:
Peki’s house is beautiful and very spacious. The family has two women living with them who care for the kids,… read more cook the meals and clean the house.
We had a private bedroom with a mosquito net. There was an open window, but no fan to pull in or circulate the air, which led to very uncomfortable sleeping conditions. I grew up without air conditioning, so I tend to tolerate a warmer sleeping environment, but this was REALLY challenging. If a fan is not provided in the future, I would highly recommend bringing one of your own. The kids and house staff are very loud at early hours of the morning (often times starting at 5am), so don’t plan to sleep in…or maybe bring earplugs? ;) This is not to deter anyone from volunteering here, as even the family said it was warmer than normal for the time of year, just simply a helpful tip that may make your stay more comfortable.
The bathroom is shared amongst all of the volunteers. There is a Turkish style toilet for use (aka “squat toilet”), which we were familiar with from our travels through Thailand and other parts of Tanzania. Toilet paper, towels, and toiletries (shampoo, body soap, toothpaste, etc.) are not provided, so these are things we had to purchase/pack on our own. There is a local shop that is easily accessible and inexpensive, so this was no issue at all. There is no running water at the house, so the toilet is manually “flushed” by pouring buckets of water down the drain. You also shower by dumping buckets of water onto your body. The cold water was very refreshing in the hot African climate!

Food:
All the food we ate was local and traditional: almost every meal included rice or ugali. This would be paired with beans most of the time, but occasionally we would have cooked potatoes or greens (the potatoes were my favorite!!). Some nights there was fresh fruit, which was always fantastic (watermelon, the best mango you’ll ever eat, pear…YUM!). We did have spaghetti once or twice, which was a tasty treat. Breakfast consisted of bread and/or rice with honey. Sometimes chapatti bread! There are small convenient shops down the street and a larger grocery store in town if you want anything else to supplement what is provided. We also had the opportunity to cook with the kids, which was fun. With other volunteers, we made bread pizzas, fruit smoothies, roasted peanuts…

Daily Living Activities:
We washed all of our clothing by hand & hung them on the clothesline to dry. We also washed the dishes by hand.

Volunteer Work:
The kids at the school/daycare center are some of the most precious kids in the world!! They will steal part of your heart…for real! They have such an energetic passion for learning new things and are so excited to meet new teachers from around the world. They work really hard to make you proud! I am an Occupational Therapist, so my projects were all therapy-related to maximize the participation of the students during their day-to-day activities. I had the opportunity to collaborate with one of the parents about a few of the recommended strategies, which was fantastic. My husband worked on data entry projects, then provided mathematics tutoring to Peki’s children (during the school day and into the evening hours). The classroom environment was very busy and felt chaotic at times. The kids benefited from a lot of verbal or visual redirection (picture cards) with 1:1 support when possible. There is some structured teacher instruction during circle time or during pullouts, but otherwise, the kids are expected to work independently with materials designed to meet their learning level. Some of the kids needed more guidance than a traditional Montessori approach “allows” as we found many of them struggled to independently advance their learning or “challenge themselves” with the classroom materials. The kids responded very well to basic positive behavior management strategies and enjoyed rewards of verbal praise, high-fives, and stickers.
The kids are at school from 8:00am-4:00pm, so the volunteer hours tended to be longer than indicated in the Workaway description. However, Peki is totally flexible and understanding if you need to leave the school in the afternoon for whatever reason.
The ladies who provide childcare and housework services for the family came into the classroom on our last day to learn English. If you enjoy working with adults, this may be a good opportunity for you to teach English to the staff as well!

Other:
Internet is not freely available at the school or house. We had to travel into town to purchase a Vodacom wifi package for use when needed. We really enjoyed our after dinner conversations with the family, learning about the local lifestyle and culture.

This was one of the most challenging, but fulfilling experiences. Peki and her husband Richard are two of the most caring, kind-hearted people you’ll meet! We are so grateful for this opportunity and recommend others donate some time here as well!
