Women’s Empowerment IVHQ

I loved my time volunteering - from the teaching at my placement every morning, to the new friends and fun places we got to visit! I volunteered at my project for 10 weeks so had a real connection with the girls at the Women’s NGO that I worked at, and felt like I did really teach them valuable things. The coordinators and directors helping us along in this experience were AMAZING and I would come back in a heartbeat. I was shocked that in a city that was very different to home and poverty was so common, that I felt so comfortable here! I felt so at home! Tanzanian people are so kind and lots of volunteers visit Arusha so the place is well equiped, although saying that, you barley see another mzungu (white person), so it’s a very cultural experience - which I loved.
