I worked as a volunteer in Nakuru in Kenya for 3 months. It was the best experience of my life!

I am a youth worker and I would like to be a social worker. I have experience with NGO work, however, it is not extensive. I was very surprised at how much trust and responsibility I was given with IHF, but I was also given constant training and help by more experienced directors and staff at the centre. We work long hours and some days are exhausting, but being surrounded by the children make everything ok, they uplift me and it helps to think that though I am stressed I know I am making even but a small difference in their lives and that thought always helps me and pushes me on to work even harder. The work is so versatile that I do many things, for example I am in charge of the legal side, I also work on the fundraising side but also do report writing and volunteer training.
