Teach English as a volunteer in northern Tanzania
Ratings
Review
This is a fantastic opportunity. I taught 2 classes each day and spent my afternoons volunteering at orphanages & care-homes nearby. The staff were great, pre, post and during the expedition, and the location was perfect. The accommodation, was shabby compared to what we are used to, but safe and secure, and a cut above the local standards. We had a guard and walled garden and we never felt unsafe. The community was warm and welcoming, the schools were so grateful and gave you a free range when it came to running your own lessons.
We made the most of our time by finding some additional projects to get involved in, but your free time is to be spent how you like, however I would definitely recommend asking the Oyster staff for recommendations in the area of good projects to work with.
Arusha is a great city to explore on the weekends!
This trip has improved my CV ten fold and working on a structured project that Oyster offers has enabled me to improve so many skills which were invaluable when it came to securing a grad role in the city.
These three months have been the best three months of my life to date and I would highly recommend anyone considering a trip away to do this project.
