I spent three months in beautiful Arusha, Tanzania. During this period I have been involved in Woman Empowerment. I felt welcome and appreciated on my project throughout the entire period. During the project I taught subjects such as English, communication, business administration and several more. It is an experience I will never forget and the people will always have a special place in my heart. The accommodation was neat and there were two housekeepers who prepared breakfast and dinner every day. The atmosphere was very pleasant with all the other volunteers. I could always contact LGA for questions and other matters. I would recommend anyone to volunteer in a developing country.

Zanzibar is beautiful with its clear blue water and beautiful beaches. Also the population is very social. I felt very safe there. Doing an internship was definitely worth it. You become stronger in many areas. You develop creativity and realize how good we have it in the Netherlands. You will also have the opportunity to perform many actions that are not possible in
the Netherlands, such as assisting with operations and deliveries. The project was fun and educational, but because it is a small hospital, we had already seen all the departments within four weeks and nothing exciting happened. Everything else was well organised. The staff at the hospital were also very hospitable and wanted to involve us in everything. I will never forget the cheerfulness and gratitude of the people, as well as their culture, including the way they eat and dance. The feeling of being together and not focusing on yourself forever remains with me.
Furthermore, we were well prepared; we went through a checklist so that we couldn't actually forget anything. I really liked this myself. We also received a quick response if we had any questions. In short, the guidance was good.

Tanzania is a beautiful country with beautiful nature and friendly people. I immediately felt welcome and I have always felt safe. Volunteering in a developing country is a wonderful experience where you can certainly make a difference. The accommodation was clean, there was good food and the hosts were very friendly, there was always someone available. I have
mainly focused on teaching, especially English, but also mathematics, business, and my own topics such as addiction, self-confidence, and mental health. When necessary, there is guidance, but you are mainly responsible for lessons, etc. together with other volunteers, so taking initiative is important. I have learned to go out of my comfort zone and be open to all
people and cultures. There were enough contact moments for me from LGA. I was always able to ask questions and I was well prepared!
