Educational Support in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe

I experienced an unforgettable time with Love Volunteers and their partner in December/ January 2018. I worked directly with the HIV/AIDS program, working with children who struggle with the illness either directly, or caring for a close family member who suffers from the illness. I learned so much from working with this program, whether it was conversing with young people, distributing condoms, or speaking directly with health facilities. I learned about HIV/AIDs in depth and looked at the illness from a perspective when it comes to my home country. I learned about causes, advanced methods of prevention, and the mentality of young people who are most vulnerable to the sickness. One of the deepest experiences for me was working at an orphanage with children who were orphaned from the disease. Learning about the daily activities these children do to cope with living the best life they can, was a major humbling experience for me. The local personnel are professional, kind, and knowledgeable. Doug was particularly considerate towards my personal experience, and I would recommend everyone to experience the same humbling, educational time that I had with this organization! Lastly, Victoria Falls the most beautiful place I've visited to date!!! The land, people, and atmosphere are simply breathtaking!
