A hug that is remembered

Experience of our volunteer Zorica P.

My one-month experience in Africa, more specifically in Tanzania (Songea ) was unforgettable. The first step on this land I will never forget. Muddy and dirty, yet humanly tolerable, faces unknown, the children approached me and met me but I also met them. There is so much warmth and cordiality nowhere in the world. The first handshake with the children from the orphanage I handled as best I could. I still remember that hug with them to this day.

Their faces are saved in my memory. We lived through good and difficult situations together; They laughed and cried together. Once you go there and decide to volunteer , you won't be able to stop thinking about Africa and life in it. I would advise all young people, if they can and have the opportunity, to go to this unfamiliar place because you will be surprised both positively and negatively. I only remember the good times.
