The most inspiring experience!
by: Salome Denny - EnglandProgram: Feeding the Street ChildrenThe Most Inspiring Children My month in Kenya was the most invaluable experience I have ever had! I spent my time working with children that live their lives on the streets of Nairobi. I worked alongside the CEO and the Vice chair to give some of the children food. I felt safe. The NGO leaders have plenty of experience on the streets and clearly maintain a positive relationship with the children. I could sense immediately there was mutual trust! On my first visit we met with about 26 boys. ...

What inspired you to travel abroad?
I have always dreamed of working in International Development in some form or another, but when I really started to make steps toward this was after I volunteered in Nepal for three months, in 2014. It was an incredible experience, I fell in love with the people, the language, the culture, and I knew I wanted to carry on helping people wherever, whenever I could.

What inspired you to travel abroad?
Deanne, CEO of BACM, is who inspired me. I have always dreamed of being a part of an international NGO and Africa has always been the country of choice. When I was a little girl I would see commercials of orphaned children around the world, inviting viewers to send in money to help a child in need. Those commercials were key in sparking my desire to someday have an impact on children in need from around the world. My dream trip to Africa led me to Deanne and, because of her, my dream of being involved in an international NGO had come true.

I volunteered in Kenya for a month in 2018 and was lucky enough to have Deanne as my roommate. I feel in love with Kenya and volunteering almost immediately—the world needs more people making a conscious effort to make a difference!
