Staying at Cosmas' house was an amazing experience. Not only did I meet so many other awesome volunteers/ travellers, he and his family are so welcoming and kind. Nuru, the woman who helps around the house is also wonderful and always smiling. Cosmas greatly cares about your experience while in Tanzania and is always willing to help you with any issues you may have. My experience here will be unforgettable; I was completely immersed in the local culture and loved it. If you are able to, I would recommend that you bring some clothes, books, games, etc to donate to the kids/villagers you meet.

Cosmas is definitely one of the best hosts on the platform and I'm so happy and grateful for having such a great experience as my first one on Worldpackers. Cosmas not only showed me his country, the people, and the culture, but he also managed to make it feel like a second home for me. He really cares about the safety and well-being of all of his volunteers. Through the organization, Cosmas also makes a big differences in the local communities. I stayed for 2 months, but if I had the choice, I would've stayed way longer than that. So all I can say is asante sana kaka for everything, pamoja sana 💚

I had an amazing experience in ZGF. The chance to help local communities, even if it was just a little bit was really rewarding and the cultural exchange was way higher than my expectations. Cosmas is a wonderful host that is worried about sharing local culture and experiences with the volunteers. He has an amazing heart and is always open to conversations and new ideas. Although tree planting only happens during rainy season (mar-jul), we did do waste picking in different regions surrounding Kilimanjaro and applied the program "My body is my body", that concerns child protection.

I had a great experience at the organization. Cosmas taught us a lot about Moshi but also about Tanzania in general. During our stay, we collected waste but also presented the “My body is my body” project to the children. I recommend this adventure to anyone who wants to discover Tanzania and have an incredible experience :)

The experience at the organization was truly amazing, I not only had the honour of having Cosmas as my host but also met a lot of incredible people. I highly recommend this experience because not only will you be accommodated but Cosmas will take you around Moshi to see some of the hidden gems and immerse yourself in the local culture. I feel sad that I had to leave.

I had the pleasure of working with Shirley, a volunteer from Zimbabwe, and I must say she was absolutely exceptional. Shirley's dedication and commitment to her work were truly inspiring. She brought a wealth of knowledge and expertise to our team, and her positive attitude and enthusiasm were contagious. I highly recommend Shirley as a volunteer for any organization seeking a motivated and talented individual.
Karibu tena Rafiki ❤️
