volunteering with fws because

I have been given this amazing opportunity to broaden my horizons and get involved with work I’m so passionate about! I have been inspired by the African culture and wish to help in any way possible to beat poverty and build a sustainable life free of harm and despair for these incredible human beings!

favourite thing about fws

Sorry guys I can not cut it down to one! My two favourite things about fws is the amazing work behind building a sustainable Living environment for the locals at Kesho and the awesome idea of employing and educating local staff to eventually maintain the overall project of fws in the future.

passion

• My amazing family back home (you know who you all are biological or not) I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for them.
• Anything to do with Human Rights
• Travelling. Seeing the world opens your eyes to people and objects that are not always insight.
• Sports. Keeps me sane at times...
• Laughing. Life is too short not to laugh and smile!
