The first time was so nice, I had to do it twice

My experience with Better Me is something I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I was nervous going alone the first time, but once I arrived, it became apparent that I had nothing to worry about. The warm reception from the staff and the children truly set the tone for the best adventure of my life.

Of course, working with the children each day was the highlight of the experience, but being able to enjoy other activities that Better Me offers—like exploring the local area—made the trip unforgettable.

The programme provides volunteers the freedom to be creative when preparing life skills lessons for the children. Volunteering at the local remand home was a standout part of my experience with Better Me.

My time in Kenya really allowed me to detach from my worries back home and fully embrace the busy yet peaceful way of life at Korando, surrounded by beautiful people.

I would encourage everyone considering the Better Me programme to take the opportunity with both hands. I hope I can return home to Korando someday soon!
