Review for A Broader View Volunteers, Elkins Park, PA, USA
Abroader view offered great support both on site and away. With my time in Tanzania, I got to see first hand the HIV epidemic, and get more clarity into the daily struggles of those battling the disease. I also got insight into the current perception of HIV and got to see how the hospital structures their organization to best serve those infected.
The country was beautiful and many of the people were awesome to work with.
I would suggest bringing light pants and a t-shirt for most days. It gets cold at night so bring a few heavier shirts.sweaters. As far as shoes go, it is very dusty. I brought sneakers that I threw out upon completion of the program. Light boots might also be a good choice.
The most positive surprise I experienced was getting to interact with the older kids, who were really cool and independent. The accommodations were a lot of fun because of the constant flow of people coming through. The country so lively with a very young population. People are very social, and spend a great deal of time outside interacting with neighbors and friends.
Thank you guys again for the experience.
