My Travel Story

Hi, friends and family!

I’m excited to share that I’ve been given the opportunity to volunteer in Tanzania, where I’ll be working at preschools and early childhood centers in low-income communities in Arusha. As a volunteer, I’ll be stepping in to support the dedicated local staff, helping with daily tasks, and ensuring the children receive the attention and care they deserve. 
 
In Tanzania, many families in low-income communities rely on local childcare centers and kindergartens to provide safe, nurturing environments while they work. However, these centers often lack the necessary resources to give children the quality care they need to grow and succeed. That’s where I come in—and where your support can make a huge difference. As a volunteer, I’ll be on the ground in Arusha, Tanzania, working alongside dedicated staff to care for and educate young children. I’ll assist in daily activities, provide one-on-one attention, and help create a positive learning environment for preschoolers.

If you feel called to contribute, your contribution will go directly towards these efforts. Whether that's by helping cover the costs of volunteering or by providing resources for the children I'll be working with. I'm truly grateful for being accepted to make a difference in this life-changing mission!
