My Experience Volunteering in Kenya

My experience volunteering in Kenya was the best I’ve ever had and I don’t think it would have been as incredible if not for the program and the local team. I felt safe at all times and like I always had someone to call or reach out to if I needed to. I made some friends from around the world and got to experience living like a Kenyan local. I mostly enjoyed going to the markets and picking our produce and driving around on motorbikes and matatus, which are the main forms of transport. The kids were the sweetest things and they were so excited to see us everyday. They, along with the rest of the locals, are so fascinated with volunteers that look different from themselves. I really felt like I was living in a completely different culture and it was incredible. I would definitely recommend for anyone who wants to get out of their comfort zone and do something to help others. It was a bit pricey, but considering what I got out of it, I will definitely be traveling again through this organization! Also, I would definitely recommend going for AT LEAST three weeks. Two weeks will not be enough!
