My volunteer experience with YEI was a dream come true. I had heard a lot about Africa and the HIV situation there. Volunteering with YEI gave me the opportunity to witness everything firsthand and make my contribution in improving the lives of the poorest. I worked alongside young people living with HIV/AIDS, witnessed the suffering of child orphans, interacted with drug addicts and observed the squalid conditions of living in abject poverty. The most interesting part was that I had the opportunity to make my contribution. I worked with a very interesting volunteer team, worked with great flexibility, received guidance at every turn and learned lots of new things. Yes, it was an experience of a lifetime!
