Experiences that stay with you

I worked as a volunteer for 6 months. Kenya was the best time of my life — warm people, meaningful work, and memories I'll never forget.

The people I met in Kenya are some of the best I've ever known. From the first moment, everyone was warm and welcoming.

You don't feel like an intruder — you immediately feel wanted and loved, like part of their family.

Coaching after school was the highlight of my trip. The Nanyuki team kept everything organised, and the children showed up ready to play every day.

Shadowing at the clinic taught me more in four weeks than a semester of lectures. The local staff were patient and generous with their time.

Weekdays in the classroom, weekends exploring. I left with friends, a few Swahili phrases, and a much clearer sense of what I want to do next.
