More than I could have hoped for!!

Volunteering with The Small Things has got to be one of the most surreal and amazing experiences of my life. I didn't exactly know what to expect coming in since it was my first time visiting Africa and also volunteering abroad by myself. However, all of my worries were squashed when I was welcomed into the community with open arms. Everyone- from the other volunteers to the Mamas, staff, and Nkoaranga locals- make sure that you feel right at home! Within weeks, you will feel settled and already have fallen completely in love with the babies and kids (seriously, they're adorable). I highly recommend this program for anyone who wants to experience the rest of the world in the friendliest environment anyone could ask for!
