Teaching Monduli Tanzania

I’ve come to Monduli in Tanzania to teach English and math to the children here. The volunteer house is perfect and they wake up very early to make us really delicious food from Africa.
I’m volunteering in a school with the teacher he is the best and he all the time let me do my job. I teach the two stories and they will have exams at the end of the year about that stories. I really like the vibes here, the children are amazing. They try all the time to ask to communicate, to talk to me to make me feel at home 😊
They are so happy and glad that I came and they are just waiting for another volunteer to come and teach them!

Tanzania Maasai community support

The team were very supportive! We went to get firewood, went to get water, painted
houses with cow shit and beaded with the women.

There were no sockets to charge anything but there was lights in the volunteer
accommodation.

The food was amazing .

The local team were extremely helpful.

The food was AMAZING and there was loads of it.

Accommodation was very basic but that's the nature of the project. Still a lot better
conditions then the people themselves live .

Cons
  • More options in the evening as no internet/electricity for example native dance or party
