Staying with Miriam was really great. I had my own room and could retreat there anytime. Her family was very relaxed and welcoming. And it felt like a huge bonus that she is a one-woman combination of German and Tanzanian! In her, I had a resource for my questions from a Westerner's perspective ,but she is also very knowledgeable about Tanzanian culture and language. Loved staying with her! I got to experience a new place and learn about a different culture!
Thank you for all of your help and support. I think WorldUnite is a great organization with a very supportive staff that does a good job of supporting its volunteers. Thank you!

I really enjoyed my time in Ikoma very much. The first two weeks, I took time to get used to being surrounded by nothing but breathtaking nature; then, I was able to enjoy my stay very much. The absolute deceleration of space and time is very important to experience in a fabulously beautiful and wildlife-rich environment. The all-male team is incredibly nice and helpful and if you want to, you will be quickly integrated into the team. Due to its remoteness from other volunteers, one is "forced" to socialize with the locals and can quickly form such deep friendships and gain insight into the life away from the normal tourist track. So I would recommend Ikoma to all who want to learn about the country and people. My experience during the few days in Moshi was that many volunteers meet with other volunteers there. This is certainly quite normal, as they come from the same culture and one feels a kinship. However, the contact with the locals is after all why this trip felt (mostly) complete. For me, the time was there very rewarding because I could learn a lot about culture, a new country, its people and probably the most about myself.Elli, Tuleeni Centre

The Safari Blue was one of the best days in Zanzibar - it was a real day to enjoy, to see dolphins, the reef was really nice for snorkeling - very exciting and above all, it was once a day when you everything without thinking. The food was perfect and you never felt that the tour organizers want to make as much profit as possible with us.

Thank you for everything, it was really super super nice and everything worked out fine. We are very grateful for the time and have already recommended you to other students. The experience in the hospital was irreplaceable and very valuable. I'm just thinking that I will again fly down next year for 4 weeks, but not for work, only to learn. Would it possible to live in one of the houses with my girlfriend? Best wishes and thanks again for everything,

In January 2013, I fulfilled my dream and started my trip to Zanzibar in the northernmost village of "Nungwi". When I arrived in the evening, I was very kindly received by Omar and Machano. The next morning, as I left my room I could not believe it - an absolutely gorgeous beach was right outside my bungalow door.I quickly got to know the team and was immediately integrated into the work. My duties were to change the water and clean the tank, rid the turtles of algae and seaweed and the guiding of tourists. The guys welcomed me very well and showed me everything. I quickly made contact also with other volunteers from other projects. Lydia of Umoja - Network for Africa has established a training center for the people in the village. The offering ranges from kindergarten tuition for pupils to language courses for adults. To practice my English, I also participated in the course. When she and her volunteers told me to write a book about Nungwi and your project, I was immediately convinced. As a trained media designer, it was a matter of the heart to use my skills for the village. And so I designed the book "Come, I'll tell you a story"; everything is going well and the book could be released in August.
On the whole, I had a fabulous time and me a lot of great people. I will always long to return to this beautiful island and will try as often as possible to visit again. Thanks to World Unite! and the Mnarani Marine Turtles Conservation Pond for this great opportunity.

Dear Chris,I hope you are well. I got back to cold Germany yesterday and just wanted to sign in briefly and say that everything went well. I had a really great time in Tanzania, thank you for all that you have enabled me to experience. You've really found very extraordinary people who do a great job and made my stay very comfortable from the start. I wish you all the best for the future and hope that you can promote more, so that many more people will have the opportunity to travel with world unite!.

You have a wonderful team in Zanzibar. Sula is extremely helpful and kind, and so is Salim who was always bringing water to our house when there was no electricity in Zanzibar. If you want me to help you in any way, I'll be happy to do so!

There are not many things I'd change. Aisha told us that you were busy writing your biography (which I would like to read!) and she was busy with the agricultural school and the exposition of her pottery (wish I could attend it and watch Aisha's wonderful work!) so we completely understand the fact that we didn't see you that often. But I must say, every time we met, it was a pleasure. I'll especially miss the little conversations with Aisha, I really enjoyed those! I told my mother everything about you two and she would love to meet you one day. Furthermore, Al-Bayan was a wonderful school and certain teachers have become some sort of a 'family'. They took great care of us (just like you did!) and helped us with almost everything! We felt like kings and queens! Furthermore I can only praise you, the people and Tamra itself for being so welcoming and kind to us. I'd never expected to feel so 'at home' in a totally different culture! I'm already saving some money with the others of the group to buy a ticket to come back to Tamra as soon as we can, because believe it or not, only after one month it started feeling like a second home. Hope hearing from you soon, lots of love, Fauve

I am writing to you to thank you again for the wonderful time in India that you helped to organise. It was really an extraordinary experience for me on all accounts. The people at the camp were really amazing (Please give a big THANK YOU to Mr. Jeevan!), and so were the children and teachers at school. As you know I left the camp a week earlier because I had already completed the amount of time of work (120 hours) which are mandatory for an internship at my university. Mr. Negi from the GPS Chola agreed to give me credit for the full 6 weeks, so that I could use my last week to travel around a little. I then had a good time visiting Amritsar, Haridwar and Rishikesh.
All the best and phir melenge, Marcel

Tobias and Jan, hotel internship in Beijing
We have been working for 3 (Tobias) and 5 (Jan) months at the Marriott Beijing City Wall Hotel in China. After just a few weeks here, I can already say that we were able to get actively involved into the work routines at our respective departments at the hotel. When it comes to the services offered by World Unite!, there is absolutely nothing to complain about! From the first contact until our arrival to China, we have always felt well taken care of. Questions and inquiries were always answered immediately. The cultural preparation of World Unite! helped us to avoid a culture shock and we feel that people here are trying to fulfill our every wish and treat us very courteously! Our internship is in the areas Hotel Management and Hotel Supervision and we are working in Front Office as well as in the hotel’s restaurant. For this job, you need to be physically fit, since the position does not only require a sense of responsibility but also physical effort. Our internship focus is on customer support and competency development of the hotel staff, implementation of certain service standards and the improvement of the staff’s English language skills. The advantages of living and working in a hotel of such standard are obvious, for instance the excellent catering! During our work, we meet lots of interesting people from all over the world and with many of them we have already become good friends during our first weeks here. Thus, after our shifts end, we enjoy the pleasant international after hours in this breathtaking capital. From taxi drivers through to business men and globetrotter, you can meet almost any type of person from different countries here. An internship with World Unite! therefore does not only provide intercultural experience abroad but also your own personal round-the-world trip. Tobias & Jan
