We were welcomed by the project and looked after really well! Interacting with the kids, getting to know them, and sharing a living environment with them was truly wholesome and a great learning experience. There are multiple projects that need funding, and I think the project should focus on finishing one at a time. The agreement was to exchange childcare for a bed and meals, yet we also felt pressured to raise funds and pay for things like groceries. the project needs money, they should make this program a paid program and not a free program. Overall it was a good experience✨

Thank you for the feedback, things are bad in the country, so it will nice for the volunteers to pay something when visit the orphanage this year. Some they do think on their own that how are these people managing feed us do where do they get funds.it will great to host the volunteers who can help.

I mostly spend my time playing with the children and sometimes helping with cooking meals.There were no specific hours or tasks that needed to be done during the day , so its pretty much up to you on what to do with your time as there were no rules .I think if there was a proper schedule put in place , everyone would feel better.The hosts are very welcoming and kind but they treated us like royalty which I found was unnecessary, especially because they fed us so much food while the kids barely got anything.but at the end of the day I did what I could for the children and we had a goodtime

Absolutely loved my time volunteering! Immersed in the local culture, the village embraced me warmly. Learning local languages was enriching. The kids stole my heart; spending time with them and tending to the garden brought immense joy. A piece of my heart remains with them, and I already miss the laughter and innocence. Hope to reunite soon. Grateful for this unforgettable experience! 🌍💙

Wow! What can I say? What an incredible experience at the project. This was our dream placement. Astone, Caroline and Sosha made us feel so at home and part of the project family. Volunteering within the football academy, schools and the orphange was a truly rewarding experience. the project United will always have a place in our hearts and so will all the people. WE ARE THE VILLAGERS! I would recommend Astone to anyone I meet and I hope that we can return again one day.

We LOVED our time at the project, from the moment we made contact with Astone, we were made to feel so welcome. His family were so welcoming, loving and friendly, it really feels like a second family. We used our time during the mornings supporting in a few different pre and primary schools supporting the teachers with English and Sports lessons. In the afternoons we led the training for the academy football team. Weekends consisted of football matches for the academy and going to watch the first team play! We were so sad to leave as the project and its people are so special to us.
