Two Amazing Summers

I first volunteered on the Youth To Youth outreach program in 2012, and I loved it so much I chose to return to Malawi in summer of 2013 to repeat the program. Over the course of five weeks, I taught students in four different primary schools about HIV/AIDs, Malaria, hygiene/sanitation, and nutrition. Teaching in these classrooms was such a positive experience for me that I am choosing to pursue teaching as a career.
For much of the program I lived in the World Camp house in the city, which was very comfortable. We also did homestays in the rural villages where we taught, which is on of my favorite parts about the program.
Although my parents were apprehensive about sending me to Malawi, they quickly realized that the World Camp staff were wonderful, and were receptive to any problems or concerns that arose during the program, and I was incredibly safe in Malawi.
The two summers I spent in Malawi were life changing, and I definitely recommend the World Camp program to anyone looking for an amazing experience!
