VOLUNTEER STORIES
''My time with the children at Faraja orphanage was very special and an amazing experience. As a volunteer you have many responsibilities over these children and you grow to becoming an important role in their life. I was so warmly welcomed by the entire community involved with the orphanage and am very grateful for this beautiful experience. Besides the work with the children there are many lovely things to do in the area of Arusha such as safari and Kilimanjaro, of which our host was so helpful with organizing our group to go and do these activities. Nakupenda Faraja Orphanage! See you soon! ''
''Literally the best thing that has happened to me in my life. Ayubu is a great host and a better person, the truth is that with him we felt very safe and in the end we built a great family among all of us who were there.
The orphanage is spectacular, the children are great and the moms are the best. I am very clear that I will return because part of my heart stayed there.
Forever Cactus house experience🥰🥰🥰🥰
I leave a family in Arusha, sincerely thank you for everything.''
''My experience at the orphanage has been the best, I couldn't have been luckier with Ayubu, the children in the orphanage, the mothers (women who are there 24 hours a day), the director... From the beginning, I have sense loved by everyone, always taking into account volunteers for activities and excursions, or inviting us to events in Arusha... I am extremely happy with the month I spent in the towns of Kwa Refu and Shangarai and everything I have learned from each one of them..
Without a doubt, a part of my heart will always stay with them in the orphanage.
I will definitely repeat this experience!"
''What can I say the orphanage is awesome. The kids there are so open and sweet. On the first day at the orphanage they welcomed me with so many hugs and they instantly wanted to play with me or climb on my shoulders. But even though the kids are happy, they need a lot of support and love. With Faraja and Ayubu you have some nice and friendly guys you can talk to if you need help or even have some suggestions to improve the orphanage and the environment for the kids.
I had an amazing time there and I hope you will have it too.''
