My name is Sarah and I usually live in London, where I work as a nurse in a busy hospital. My life there is quite stressful because I always get up very early and I hardly ever have time for a long lunch. However, this month my situation is very different.

Right now, I am volunteering for a humanitarian project in a small village in Kenya. At this moment, we are building a new sustainable school for the local children. Today, the sun is shining intensely and the temperature is rising. My colleagues are not resting; they are preparing medical supplies for the afternoon clinic.

The local people are very welcoming. They don't have many possessions, but they share everything generously. I understand their language a bit better now because I am studying Swahili every evening. I believe this experience is changing my life. Are you thinking about joining a charity project one day?
