A volunteer experience
It was March 2018. I was finishing high school. While I was looking forward to my college years, I also felt a strong desire to volunteer abroad. After weeks of serious consideration, I decided to have a gap year(间隔年).
I cannot tell you how many hours I spent trying to find the programme I was most interested in. I contacted many volunteer organizations. In the end, I signed up with " African Impact". I wanted to make an impact（影响）-no matter how small-on Africa and its people.
I took part in the Child Care Project. We worked in an orphanage (孤儿院) in Cape Town( 开普敦） and spent time with a group of orphans（孤儿） between the ages of 0 and 3. There was nothing as exciting as seeing a baby taking her first steps, hearing a two-year-old girl repeat all of the letters in the alphabet after I said them, seeing a little boy kick or catch balls of different sizes, and watching all of the kids carefully wash their hands as it became a habit. These were the skills that I watched the children develop during my time there. My heart was filled with pride.
I also took part in the Teaching Project and worked in a preschool. Teaching was more tiring. Some children were naughty. They didn't always listen to me. But it's hard to describe the joy I felt when the kids finally understood what I was trying to teach them.
Volunteering in Cape Town changed my life. It has changed who I am as a person. I cannot be more grateful for this amazing experience.
