We celebrate Volunteer Day!
Today is a special day for Tumaini, we celebrate for the first time the Volunteer Day with all of you. There are many of us who collaborate with Tumaini on a voluntary basis. Both to those of you who support us from here, as well as to the people who have trusted us to carry out a solidarity trip We want to thank you for your trust.
This work that we have done together is giving many people the chance to make a different trip. A way of knowing other realities from within. Live, understand and share many moments with people from different cultures.
The best part of our job is talking to the people who have traveled back. Let them tell us how their experience has been, what they liked the most or how they felt. We want to share with all of you some of the opinions of travelers from Tumaini:
