Better Me – More than Volunteering: A Journey That Touches My Heart

My time with Better Me in Kisumu was simply unforgettable. From the very first moment, I felt welcomed and part of a big family. The projects I was involved in not only allowed me to help but also completely broadened my perspective.
Particularly moving were the stress management workshops with the local fire department – seeing how open and grateful the people were left a deep impression on me. Another highlight was serving as a referee at the first football tournament of the volunteer-founded Nyalenda Youngstars FC club – the joy, the enthusiasm of the children, and the energy of the whole team were truly touching.

What really makes Better Me special is the genuine connection to the community: you don’t just participate superficially; you are part of projects that truly make a difference. Each day brought new challenges, new learning moments, and countless unforgettable encounters.

I am incredibly grateful for this experience – it shaped me personally, gave me friendships for life, and showed me how much joy it brings to positively impact others together. Better Me is more than a volunteer project – it’s a journey for the heart, mind, and soul.
