Kyrgyzstan

“I decided to volunteer as I was at a pivotal time in my life, having just graduated from University, I felt the call to dedicate some of my time to others. My time spent on the shores of Lake Issy-Kul at camp were both fulfilling and reflective. The fun and laughter shared with the children and staff of the camp is something that will stay with me for the rest of my life”.

“I miss the simplicity of life. It really highlighted for me how overly complex we make things in the UK, and how happy the people are out there with a fraction of what we have”.

“I think I speak on behalf of the whole volunteer team in saying that the short three weeks that we spent in Kyrgyzstan were some of the most fascinating, humbling and rewarding of our lives…”
Hattie spent three weeks volunteering in Kyrgyzstan. She recounts some of her experiences here.
