\"VolunteerAWR is teamed up with a a great volunteer project through Make A Difference Now (MAD)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

MAD supports a school and orphanage in the town of Himo, which is a 30 minute drive from Moshi.\u00a0 They prefer to have volunteers stay for at least 1 week, but shorter visits are also possible.<\/p>\n

Volunteering includes Swahili and cooking classes in the morning and then working in the school or orphanage in the afternoon.<\/p>\n

The best times for volunteering are weekends and anytime August-September because the kids are out of school.\u00a0 Christmas and July are not good times for volunteering.\u00a0 It is best to confirm your dates with MAD.<\/p>\n

MAD also offers rooms in their guest house in Moshi for $30\/person\/night which includes breakfast and dinner.\u00a0 July is often full.<\/p>\n

Volunteering is great option to combine with a Kilimanjaro trek<\/a> or Tanzania safari<\/a> to give back to the local community.<\/p>\n

To focus on the volunteer tasks at hand, there is no alcohol allowed at the MAD Guest House, and an 11pm curfew is enforced.<\/p>\n
