Volunteering in paradise

I volunteered for 2 months in Zanzibar on the teaching and community project. Of all the amazing African Impact projects that I have done, this one had the biggest impact on me. At first I was scared teaching 5/6 year olds at nursery. But the education coordinator made sure I was comfortable with teaching before she left me teaching on my own.

She showed me how incredible the small children are and she definitely has changed my view on working with them. Now I love teaching at nursery! My all time favorite will always be teaching adult English class. The people who come to the class really want to learn and get better.

You can see it in their eyes. Their smiles when they get something just melts your heart. The people here have problably changed my life more than that I changed theirs. I made some really good friends who I never will forget. Zanzibar is definitely Paradise, but not because of the white beaches and the clear blue water.

It's Paradise because of the amazing, lovely people who live on the island!
