hat do volunteers do?
Volunteers usually help out at the Green Door Home (playing with the children, tutoring etc) and help with outreach projects sponsored by the Boona Baana (e.g. Painting Parties, Play Days, etc). Above all we need volunteers who will selflessly give their time to helping. Sometimes, capable and mature volunteers may be asked to take the place of the houseparents for a day or even for a few days so that the houseparents can have some time off.
Where do volunteers stay? Volunteers may choose to stay at the Boona Baana volunteer dormitories which cost anywhere between $6 and $12 a night depending on the room and the duration of stay. These rooms are available on a first come, first serve basis and we do not take reservations or guarantee availability. We can also assist you in finding other accommodation suitable for your budget.
What about traveling?
Tanzania is a beautiful country and we encourage our volunteers to spend some of their time traveling the country as well. For those volunteers who are staying one month or more, we encourage you to learn some Swahili and we can introduce a local Swahili teacher to you.
How much does it cost?
Unlike many volunteer organisations, we do not require volunteers to pay
