Chloe

I learnt so much about myself and other cultures and made some of the best friends I could wish for out in Tanzania. The whole two year experience genuinely changed me for the better, and joining the link was the best decision I've ever made in my life.

Tia

Being a part of the link has encouraged me to do things I would otherwise never dream of doing (skydiving?!). I would definitely recommend this experience to anyone, joining the link was the best decision I have ever made and I can honestly say I have enjoyed every minute of it.

Dani

I have gained invaluable experiences, shared a ride home in the back of a trailer with 3 chickens and a cockerel given to us as gifts, and made friends for life both in the UK and in Tanzania.'
