Community Service Tanzania 2007
 

“I thought that I was only going to help Tanzania, but I had no idea how much Tanzania would benefit me. I discovered that regardless of physical or linguistic differences, there will always be a powerful human connection that remains. I remember playing soccer with some of the other village teenagers when all of a sudden we seemed to speak the same language. I don't think I’ve ever had a better feeling than when our village organized a “Thank You Ceremony” for our group—it was so heartwarming to see how much they appreciated all of our hard work. My Putney program was truly a life-changing experience.”

I brought home…a new outlook on the world.

I met…many wonderful, interesting, and different people.

It was a tough moment when…it was time to leave my newfound friends and our village in Tanzania.

I've decided…to stay involved in community service.

Students at my school should…see what they can do to benefit their community.
