They dared to travel to the other side of the world to help, learn and discover. Here are the testimonials of three young people who had a powerful experience with The Helping Zebra.
Emma, 18, Belgium
‘It was my first trip alone. I was a little scared, but as soon as I arrived, I felt reassured. The coordinators are very attentive. I taught English to children for two weeks. What struck me most was their smiles and their curiosity. I’m leaving with more self-confidence.
Lucas, 19, France
‘I took part in a school renovation project. We repainted classrooms, installed benches and planted a small garden. It was physically demanding, but I loved the team spirit. We also went on a safari and learnt a few words of Swahili. I’ve even kept in touch with some young Tanzanians.’
Chiara, 18, Italy
‘Tanzania moved me deeply. I discovered a culture that was so rich and so different. The evenings around the fire, the songs, the stories of the elders… I came back a changed person. And now I’m thinking of studying international cooperation.’
These testimonials show that leaving at 18 is not too early. It’s actually the right time to open up to the world, get involved and sow the seeds for a future of commitment. With The Helping Zebra, this adventure becomes possible and safe.
