Childcare in Mombasa, Kenya
by: Emily Wagner - United StatesProgram: Volunteer in Childcare in KenyaMy experience with IVHQ was amazing! I cannot wait to return! My placement was childcare in Mombasa. I was able to live in the place I was volunteering. My room was just down the hall from all of the kids. I loved waking up and looking out the window to see the kids playing outside. I really got to know the kids and made some lasting friends.
