What people are saying...
“My experience was not only eye-opening, it was life changing. Interacting with local stroytellers taught me the value of perseverance and adaptability. When you travel, be prepared to challenge any expectations and stereotypes, including ones you didn’t know you had. If you’re on the fence about going: go! I can’t put into words how valuable this experience will be.”
“There were so many highlights of the Kenya trip but I especially loved meeting the reporters there. Learning directly from them was a treat. I feel so excited and better prepared now on how I can tell stories. This is definitely an experience that I will never forget!”
