Knowing another reality

History:

In the Somali region of Ethiopia I taught children in the summer camp created by the organization I volunteered with, teaching them geometry, mathematics, English and a lot of sports. In the cities of Dire Dawa and Kibre Mengist I worked for the Missionaries of Charity of Mother Teresa of Calcutta, accompanying the sick, playing with children, training a soccer team, and carrying out artistic works, such as making crosses for two chapels in a Comboni mission.

I see this time as a precious gift that not everyone can enjoy. I grew in values, I learned to be grateful, not to take anything for granted or consider that I deserve what I have and above all, to exploit my opportunities to the fullest, no matter how small they may seem.

Get to know Ethiopia!

Ethiopia is a large country with two very different regions. In the north nature is green, fresh and abundant like in a jungle and in the south it is hot and arid like in the desert.

It is a very attractive country for volunteering because there is a lot of security, volunteers are always well received and because there are already many organizations with volunteer experiences who have been established for many years.

The country also offers a great variety of tourism, so volunteers can always take advantage of their trips and learn about Ethiopian culture by visiting the different regions.
