Tiffany Tribbitt, Volunteer in Tanzania

Tiffany Tribbitt, 25 years old, Volunteer in 2011

Describe your volunteer work experience.

I helped in the nursery school in the mornings, grading exercise books and writing out lessons. I also taught an hour long English class to anyone that wanted extra practice before school. In the afternoons, I would play games with the kids, help in the office, or help with first aid for the kids.

Please provide a testimonial of your experience with as much detail as possible.

My Quest with United Planet was an amazing experience. I learned so much about Tanzania, the people there, and myself. I now have first hand knowledge of the challenges facing development projects in Africa.

I also learned a new language and have made friendships that will last long beyond my return from the trip.
