Before leaving Japan, I felt very anxious about communication in English and whether I will fit in the foreign country. But,the concern disappeared quickly. Kenyan people is friendly and kindly,so I love Kenyan character and natural features. Through the project, I thought that Kenyan medical standard is lower than Japanese one as to sanitation and medical equipments. So,I recognize that my task is to export correct knowledge and developed technology for the future.And also,I thought that disorders of babies that could have been prevented by medical intervention immediately after birth should be prevented. The most impressed experience while this project is Medical Outreach. I feel so happy that children of the tribe came up to me and wanted to play with me. They cannot reach hospitals,so we should provide medical resources. I wish I take part in the project like this activity in the future. I researched on the Internet about the social support. Large organizations such as UNICEF and WHO are conducting such activities. Japanese participating them are working abroad for some years. For this reason, I think it is necessary for me to work abroad at a young age. Overall,trip to Kenya is extremely good. I would like to come back there again. And,I want to be involved in Kenya in some way.

It was a huge experience in my life. People are so humble and friendly. It was an eye-opener and really got a culture shock of how people can feel. I appreciate so much the help we have been able to give them, but not least to be able to see how happy and grateful these children are. Wish you could do more, but it's hard you want to help everyone. Glad our money went to them here
