Kenya Volunteer - May 2010

Volunteering in Kenya was one of the most satisfying and rewarding experiences of my life. Walking to the village and getting to know my fellow volunteers, spending time with the children and working to improve a community in need, were only a few of the wonderful aspects of this trip. Of course, manual labor was involved and it was hard work; but I was with a group of people who were so upbeat. The village women sang as we planted corn and we genuinely enjoyed each others company. Sure, no electricity or running water isn't a walk in the park, but the experience of it; taking a look at the life of many Kenyans was incredibly humbling. Volunteer. Be a part of something bigger than yourself. Create memories that last a life time.
