AHERO RESOURCE CENTRE

I volunteered with CIVS Kenya for one year, mainly in the community development project in Ahero. It was a great experience. I had a good introduction from the staff at the beginning of my stay. It took me some time to adjust to the local conditions and way of life, but after a month I found my place in the project and the community. The most important lesson for me was not to try to adjust to my expectations, but rather to adjust my expectations. It is very important to be open-minded and find happiness in the small day to day successes. You will not change the world, but the new experience might change you.

I had a wonderful time in Kenya. I really enjoyed traveling there and working with the local volunteers and CIVS members. Everyone I met was welcoming and generous. The accommodations were perfect for us, learning to live how others live is really important. I enjoyed the traveling we did, as well as, all the hard work. I really felt connected with the village while we were there. The work they are doing is really important, I hope they continue to receive support. I would love to return someday.

I really enjoyed my stay in Kenya. It was very well organised.The work was satisfying and the experience was unforgatable. I also enjoyed my trip to Maasai Mara Nataional Park organised by CIVS.
