amazing adventure in Nairobi!!

I've been volunteering in Nairobi with UCESCO Africa for two months. From my experience, it was one of the best decisions I could have ever taken. Working with community service in a clinic in Kibera, I really felt like I was making an impact with UCESCO. While I was staying with UCESCO, I got to know a lot of new people, I experienced the wonderful culture and went on many adventures while feeling safe the whole time. While working with the organization, I saw how much passion and enthusiasm the staff is putting in to help people in need. I learned a lot from this journey and I will take home memories that will last for a lifetime.

Pros
  • new friendships
  • safety
  • helping people in need
