Is it what you're looking for? That is the question.

You're with the kids usually 3-6 hours a day. Feeding, changing, playing, and keeping them from fighting! It will test your patience and it will show you that you can love more than you ever thought possible. These kids probably won't remember you, but they need the loving hands and laps you have to offer. It's hard to see kids who hunger for attention and barely get it, but it can teach you so much about the world and yourself. The more you get to know the mamas (and, if you're studying medicine or have a medical background, the hospital staff!) through your work and interaction with them, the more you'll learn about Tanzania. Put yourself out there and learn all you can. Be humble and willing to see things from an angle you don't normally use to look at the world.
