Volunteering in Tanzania!

I really did have such an amazing trip in Tanzania with PMGY and would absolutely recommend it to anyone. I chose them primarily as they were the cheapest organisation i found, but honestly they cut no corners. PMGY were very helpful with my questions beforehand and managed to get me sorted even though I only enquired 3 weeks before my departure date! Everything needed was given to us in writing which was a comfort and was very accurate information. Arrival was very easy on my part and the volunteer house is perfect! I settled in so so quickly as all the in-country PMGY staff were so lovely and helpful as well as the other volunteers being amazing. I made some great friends in the time i was there, as we spent loads of time together in the house and on the weekend trips (which are brill for keeping busy whilst not on placement). I worked in an orphanage which for me involved a fair bit of teaching, playing and cooking-so great to have a bit of teaching as i was torn between teaching & orphanage placement. All i can say is the more you put in, the more you get out of your experience, PMGY will totally look after you, so go with a totally open mind and you'll have a trip you will not forget.
