“Everyone on the Standing Voice team was enthusiastic, hard-working and focused on improving outcomes for people both with and without albinism in the local community. However, it is the people of Tanzania who filled my life with joy and happiness on this trip.” Professor Quannetta Edwards - Researcher

“I had the most incredible and eye-opening experience. It was so wonderful to be able to form such close relationships within the Ukerewe community in such a short time." Lily Bilton - Volunteer

“I began to realise that every time I stopped and thought for a second, I had a smile on my face. That feeling didn't go away for the entire trip.” Maddy Slade - Volunteer

"What I enjoyed the most was the great sense of community and happiness within the families and friends who took part in the workshops.” Annie-Marie Akussah - Artist

"Ukerewe couldn’t be more remote, yet our students' drive to learn and transform their careers left a profound impression on me." Brian Benson - Photographer

“I would strongly advise anyone with spare time and enthusiasm to invest in a week or two on the beautiful island of Ukerewe. You will meet incredibly courageous children and adults -- many with histories of trauma -- who will cherish the opportunity to work with you. By sharing your skills to ignite their passions, there is no limit to the number of futures you can transform.” Alex Booker - Artist
