My YTK Experience – Keegan

Kenya was one of the most unique and humbling experiences I have ever had. All of the stuff we did and all of the people we met were truly amazing. I thinks the highest part or the best part of my trip would have had to be the people that we met and the relationships we made with them. They are so full of Gods love and are willing to give so much even though they have so little.

Montana on a Mission's H2O For Life Kenya program partners with communities to provide clean water. An important part of that is hygiene training including building and training in the use of Tippy Taps for hand washing while conserving the precious resource of clean water.

My YTK Experience – Kevin

My experience on the Youth to Kenya trip was unforgettable. Leading up to the trip I had some ideas of what to expect but it was far more than I had imagined. The culture of the people and the way that they live their everyday lives is inspiring. So many little things that I take for granted are the very things that they work for. Being able to work alongside these people for two weeks was truly amazing.

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.
