My experience at Born to Learn

With only 16 years old, I decided I wanted to go volunteer in Africa, I came across Born to Learn and spent a month there my first time, this was my first time being in such a different country for so long, the environment this NGO provides to the volunteers involved is unimaginable, you get to find a place in which you feel like home even though you are miles away from what would traditionally be called your 'safe place'. After this first year, I was completely hooked.
The best thing about BTL, is that it gives you the opportunity to get yourself involved in the program hands on, a family like organization that enables you to be part of it actively, not only during your month(s) experience but after that, knowing you are useful from wherever you find yourself.
It is difficult to find one story after having spent almost 6 months in total in Tanzania, but one of the best moments I have lived there was on the football tournament we had summer 2015 against the other schools in the village. Every one was happy, excited and chanting all together for our school. Not many times in your life your lucky enough to experience the most sincere and pure happiness, and Born to Learn has managed to make it so.
