My experience at the organization was very fun! We shared a lot of laughter, stories and emotions. the organization always wanted to make us feel comfortable and welcomed! Being part of this unusual family was a mindopening experience for me! We could dive into many different areas of the community, through school- and homevisits , gardening (for selfconsumption and selling plants to sustain the orphanage). The place gave me the chance to improve my farming skills along my social and culture awareness and just grow in general as a person(unlike our chinese cabbage R.I.P.) Ahsante sana everyone!
