My experience: week 3 and 4

I spent two more weeks in a low-income neighborhood. I worked mostly with children that most of the times don't have a well nutrition because they dont have money to buy their food. This children were in a very bad situation so it  felt nice to help them and in some cases, save their lifes. the children are just amazing and I've bonded with them very quickly! There have been highs and lows adjusting to everything but that's what I wanted...to be able to experience a whole load of emotions, good, bad, happy, sad...that's what makes the experience come alive for me and enables me to be pushed out of my comfort zone and get the most out of the experience.
My favorite moments were playing with the kids at the orphanage and seeing their faces light up. I also enjoyed making new friendships that will last me lifetime.
I felt like I was valued and needed which is exactly what I wanted from my volunteering experience.
I borrowed a guitar left by another volunteer and played few songs for kids. At the very end of our stay the kids were asking me to play the song and they were ready to sing and dance, and it was great!
I think my work was appreciated, I just wonder how I could have made it more valuable for them, but to do that I guess you have to stay longer than 2 weeks.
I am just extremely fortunate to have met such incredible children. I was so touched by each one of them and found it very difficult to leave them. On my last day we were able to throw a big party for the street children and to see them all so happy was touching.
