I had the most heavy warming & unforgettable time in Kenya

I had the most heavy warming & unforgettable time in Kenya, & it would’ve never been possible if I didn’t meet Kenyan coordinator Pastor Ian & his very loving family (wife M.s Edith & Children). I was at home away from home! If I could live there w them forever I would! They were accommodating, The house is always clean & Pastor really care for volunteers. Pastor Ian introduced me to happy life & other organization & made my experience more than I have expected. My project “Happy Life” children home is now part of me & I am very saddened to only be there for 7 wks. I am sure to come back & volunteer there with Global Crossroad & stay with my Kenyan family. Thank you Pastor Ian & Ms Edith, I love you both.

I was volunteering at Kings Kids village after my week of Language and Culture and I really enjoyed it. The children were AMAZING and Molly and John were two of the nicest people you could meet. The language and culture course, I found, was very useful because I was able to learn some of the local language so I was able to communicate better and we went into town a lot so I also knew my way around which helped significantly. I was able to know where to go much more quickly then some of the people who had already been there for 3 weeks but who did not do the course. I also found the local people to be extremely willing to help and very friendly. As well, Ian and Edith were amazing and were also extremely kind people. They were more then willing to offer whatever form of assistance they could in order to you’re your trip more enjoyable.

I miss everyone that I was able to meet in Kenya very much and I cannot wait to go back! I am actually planning the same program with Global Crossroad on returning hopefully in the summer of 2011!

P.S. Thanks too, to Cheryl who was very helpful with answering my MANY questions before I left!
