As I sit here in Rusasa Village, looking back and reflecting on my journey with CorpsAfrica, I am filled with joy. My experience as a CorpsAfrica Volunteer has been nothing short of transformative, shaping my view and inspiring my soul in ways I could never have imagined.

It all began back home when I was packing my bags and preparing to head to Amakuza Resort where we had our training. My desire to make a difference in the world only grew stronger as I embarked on a month and a half of training, where I gained my skills, cultivated my passion, and connected with fellow like-minded individuals who shared my vision for a better tomorrow.

Finally, I made my way to the exciting community of Rusasa Village. The warm welcome I received from the locals once I set my feet there was overwhelming, and it was here that the true spirit of my journey began to clarify.

For the past three weeks, I have been working side by side with community members to address critical challenges and strengthen sustainable change. From implementing the kitchen gardens initiative to promoting health and sanitation initiatives, every moment has been a testament to the power of collective action and the resilience of the community.

As I look ahead to the days, weeks, and months to come, I am filled with hope and excitement for the journey that lies ahead. The bonds I have with community members, the lessons I have learned, and the memories I have made will forever be in my heart.

My time as a CorpsAfrica Volunteer in Rusasa Village has been nothing but a life-changing experiment. It has not only transformed me but has also strengthened my belief in the power of community, compassion, and collective action to create a world where every individual has the opportunity to prosper.

In closing, I am grateful for this amazing journey and for the opportunity to be a part of something greater than myself. Together, hand in hand, we can truly make a difference and build a better future for all. Thank you, Rusasa community and CorpsAfrica.
