AS I VOLUNTEER

“Nothing truly valuable arises from ambition or from a mere sense of duty; it stems rather from love and devotion toward men and toward objective things” Albert Einstein When I was signing up to volunteer with CorpsAfrica, I had some worries and fears. I was worried about the things I normally used to do and run, whether I’m gonna have the time to run them the way I used to before my commitment. Worries about cutting some friendship ties or becoming disconnected to my friends and family especially that time I  didn't  know where I was to be posted. I had lots of questions. As I embarked on this journey in February this year, I carried along these questions with me to an “unknown” destination, a place I now call my home, my second home. As I established myself among the people in my community, I began to love what I do even more, not that I loved it not, but the magnitude itself grew and broadened significantly, especially after bonding with my students at Chitete Primar
