A life changing experience

I spent a wonderful three months in Arusha, Tanzania with Projects Abroad. Some of the people I met there have become close friends, even though we live thousands of miles apart. I taught in an orphanage and in a special needs school, walking to work most days with the other teacher and volunteer. Teaching was a challenge, but every moment with the children made my trip what it was. My experience with Projects Abroad helped me figure out what I want to do in life and helped me see what things were really important. It's a different way of life in Tanzania than it is in the US, but it's a wonderful one I feel lucky to have experienced!
