My Tanzanian Volunteer Experience

I have now completed 2 IVHQ programs in Tanzania. Each experience was filled with unforgettable moments that I will cherish for the rest of my life. Tanzanian people are like no other. They are kind. They are friendly. They are helpful. Every friend that I have made here will be a friend for life. The children and families I have worked with during my placements will stay in my heart forever. If I had any tips for new volunteers, it would be: To have an open mind, and an open heart. Remember that this is Africa. People will say certain things and act in certain ways because their lives are hard here. Always love and always forgive, the world is already filled with enough hate, so it’s important that we do everything we can to make it a better place.
