I recently spent some time with the kids at the foundation. It was a beautiful experience, and honestly, I feel like I learned more from them than anything else. They have such an incredible energy. Due to some logistics, I had very little time and couldn't get through the main activity I had planned, but the time we did share was very meaningful. For anyone thinking about visiting or supporting, it's important to go with a mindset of solidarity and respect. It's not about "fixing" anything, but about being there and being useful.

Spending my days at Project of the organization school with the children has been a fulfilling experience, I loved playing with them, cooking with and for them, and talk to them. Both the Kawangware community and the people at the school made me feel loved, and in the end I didn't want to leave. The project aims to improve the children education and environment, since most of them are orphan and live in the school dormitories. Aswani, the spokesperson, will kindly ask to raise some money for the school, so as well as helping/spenting time at the school, this has been my occupation there and I am grateful.

It was really nice, everybody is friendly but everybody there is gonna ask for your money every single day… that can be uncomfortable. But except for that and is really good because they help you a lot so you never feel left alone or anything!
