My time with Paul at Manwya was wonderful! Paul is such a kind & selfless man willing to do so much for the children, the teachers & the community. He made sure i was comfortable the entire time & was accommodating to any of my needs. His passion for his school is inspiring! Choosing to stay here will be one of the best choices you could make! Promise is Paul's wife and is so lovely & fun to be around, the both of them will make you feel at home! Everyone there at the house & in the villages are so kind & i felt welcomed by everyone my entire stay. Thank you Paul for this amazing experience!

I had the most incredible experience in Uganda with Paul and his wife Promise and the other volunteers I met along the way who have become friends for life! This experience will completely open your eyes to a different world and show you how people in Uganda live day to day - we got to have so many experiences - not just at the school every day, but meeting locals, visiting the children's homes and families, a safari, the equator, going to church and so much more. Paul is the most amazing host and will make sure you have everything you need and you will feel completely safe and cared for. ❤️

This was my first time volunteering and I wouldn't change it for the world. Paul and his wife are the best hosts I could ever wish for. They made me feel like I'm at home. I 100% recommend volunteering with this organization. Being with the kids on daily basis was incredible and I miss them already. Thanks to Paul I felt safe and comfortable the whole time. I've had the opportunity to see how people live their lives and learn many new things. I miss everyone already and I hope I'll be back one day!

Dear Barbora,

Your dedication and selflessness have made a significant impact on our organization, and I cannot thank you enough for your time and effort.

Furthermore, I want to take this opportunity to acknowledge the wonderful memories we have created together during this period of volunteering. The laughter, camaraderie, and shared experiences have been nothing short of amazing. I truly cherish the way in which you have made our team feel like a family. Your kindness, warmth, and genuine care for others truly shine through in everything you do.

However, I must admit that since your departure, there has been a void that cannot be filled. Your absence is greatly felt, and I sincerely miss having you around. The positive energy and enthusiasm you brought to our organization were contagious, and it is not the same without you.

On a more personal note, I want you to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers every day. May your fracture heal swiftly and completely, granting you a speedy recovery. Please take all the time you need to rest and heal, as your health and wellbeing are of utmost importance.

Once again, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for your exceptional contribution to our cause. Your kindness has made a lasting impact on both our organization and my personal journey. I am truly grateful for the opportunity to have worked alongside you.
Greetings to your family ):
Wishing you a swift recovery and hoping to stay in touch,
Cheers , Paul
