Made me feel at home
January 18, 2024by: Mollie Robbie T - GermanyProgram: Africa and South America Gap YearSouth Africa has been the best experience ever- African Impact has been life-changing! sports volunteering was brilliant. The kids were a pleasure to coach and welcomed me with open arms. The coaches at the schools are doing great job and I will miss them all greatly! I came to South Africa alone and was very nervous but everyone did a fantastic job of making me feel this was my home. I'm leaving here feeling more than content with a completely different outlook on life.
