I thoroughly enjoyed my experience teaching in Zambia. Things were organised well here and there was a good variety of after school activities but I felt the evening time could have been used more productively. I would have loved to spend an hour one/two evenings a week with the local elderly people perhaps at a care home. The group dynamic was good for the first half of my time here until all the original people left and 9 Italians joined. Although efforts were made by management to encourage them to be inclusive and to speak English, they didn’t comply. This created a split in the group and greatly affected the overall dynamic. The rooms are organised by gender but a girl and a boy were sharing a bed for the majority of the nights. This group were just highly disrespectful on a lot of levels. When I was sick, the staff on the ground were so attentive to me and guided me towards the correct medicine to purchase also. One thing that took me by surprise was when I asked about buying school supplies for the school I was volunteering in and leaving them with the principal for her to decide how best to use them. I had fundraised and gathered donations that I assumed I would have the liberty of deciding how my that money should be spent, to be told that any donations had to be left with African Impact and would be used as incentives/prizes for their projects. The staff were so lovely and I met a lot of lovely people. However, I think volunteers should be over the age of 18 as immaturity affects impact hugely.

To write a short review on how incredible my time spent here in the greater Kruger area with this team has been, is impossible. This will forever be the greatest trip of my life. I have made incredible memories and ever more incredible friends. I have loved every second of my 12 weeks here and I wish I didn’t have to leave so soon.
