Reflections

As my trip is coming to an end I just wanted to post some final thoughts on Africa. In the short time I’ve been here I have seen and experienced more than I ever thought possible. From the breathtaking beach in Diani to waterfall hikes to the Ngong Hills to the plains of the Massai Mara. I’ve seen dusty volcanos to lakes to the endless Great Rift Valley. I’ve witnessed animals in their beautiful wild habitat and people living in conditions too horrible to think about. I’ve met some unforgettable Kenyans and volunteers that have become close friends. I’ve eaten, lived, and used transportation like a local while still being a tourist and it’s been the best of both worlds. Africa has been a place I have wanted to visit for so many years and even in all it’s craziness it exceeded my expectations. There is truly nowhere like it. In the time I was lucky to have with the kids here I have learned new levels of patience, gratitude, and that smiling is a universal language. Asante Sana Africa!
