It’s been already two weeks that I am in Zanzibar, getting to know better the island, the campus, the NGO and the activities. As the slogan ‘pole pole’ says, I am taking my time to get to discover the island.

Mainly, during these days, I have been learning about Assalam, the hosting organization, that is working in many departments. The department I got to work the most was the Women Empowerment, more specifically tailoring. There I was helping the women to sew and to make traditional dolls. In the same department, I got to participate in the Eco print design of 2 items, including the selection of leaves and flowers, their treatment, the design of the print and the compression of the material.

At the same time, I am learning more about the business plan for the tailoring shop -called Kanga Africa, and I will try my best to have a positive impact in its branding.

I enjoy living here, the weather is great, the view from the campus is just gorgeous, waking up with the sound of the sea, eating dinner two meters away from the splash of the waves on the cliffs, it’s a very relaxing place.

Volunteering Experience in Tanzania

And to not forget, I am getting Swahili classes everyday and they are intense, I understand why the teacher is saying that in two months I will be fluent 😊.
