The Experience of a Lifetime

On January 8, 2011, I started an internship in Kilimanjaro, Tanzania, Africa. The program I worked with was called Cross Cultural Solutions. I was working in an orphanage, school, and daycare for kids with developmental disabilities for 12 weeks. Organizations like the children's orphanages, daycares, and centers for street children have a lack of available funding and an increase in disease -- including HIV/AIDS -- and leaves many children without available, qualified caregivers. As a CCS volunteer, I was able to provide one-on-one attention and care that these children may not otherwise receive.
