Positive life Kenya
July 10, 2019by: Audrey Runyan - United StatesThese past 2 weeks at Positive Life Kenya has been nothing but an unforgettable experience. Leaving the United States for the first time at age 20, all alone, to come to Kenya was the best adventure yet. I came to Positive Life Kenya with open arms from all the ladies in the office. They taught me a lot about the women and children of Mlolongo and surrounding areas, their culture, and so much more. The memories I have had in Kenya and at Positive Life will be cherished forever. My favorite a part about Positive Life Kenya were the home visits. Seeing the mothers and grandmothers of the surrounding slums and hearing their story was truly impactful. I hope that everyone who volunteers at Positive Life Kenya has as great of an experience as I have because these women didn’t disappoint. To all of the women and children I have met along the way, thank you for making my trip life changing. Hope to come back in the near future!

This is an experience you will remember forever
September 20, 2022by: Kristina DushkovaMy favorite moment was the evenings with the women from Women's Education and the discussions about the culture and traditions in Kenya. Also, the activities with the children were the moments when I was recharging my batteries with positive energy. I learned that people can have a simple life and should be grateful for every single thing they have. It made me more understanding, less judgemental, humble, and appreciative. It was the best thing I've ever done for myself and I will probably do it again next year. This is an experience you will remember forever.
