My YTK Experience – Bella

Kenya was such an amazing and unforgettable experience.  I made some amazing new friends and strengthened relationships that I already had.  I will never forget the feeling of smiling into a child’s eyes and feeling the love through a squeeze of a hand or a enthusiastic hello, or “supa”.  They are so loving and happy you can really see how the love and Light of God shines through them.  They may not have much, but they have love.  The Maasai people taught me to keep on smiling when things are bad, and keep on going when things are hard.

My YTK experience – Lindy

Kenya was not what I expected or assumed it would be. The people, animals, lifestyle, views, everything were so fascinating and so above and beyond what I could’ve dreamed. I made so many life-long memories/friendships and took so much joy and love home with me.  I’ll never forget the children and the way they treated holding your hand like the world’s biggest accomplishment, or the way they had close to nothing materialistically but happily gave their little bit to you and shared with each other, or when one of them would catch your eye and you’d smile at them and they’d get so happy they covered their huge smile with their hands and turn away blushing.
