But let me tell you, the moment I grasped that diploma, I wasn't content with idling away behind a desk, squandering precious time on meaningless tasks. No, instead, I found myself drawn by an inexplicable force to Africa. Don't ask me why, but that continent has always held a mesmerizing allure for me.<\/h4> <div class=\"vc_empty_space\"   style=\"height: 20px\"><span class=\"vc_empty_space_inner\"><\/span><\/div> <h4 style=\"color:;padding:px;text-align:;font-size:15px;line-height:28px;letter-spacing: px;font-weight:lighter\" class=\"   nd_options_second_font \">Touching down in Kenya, I embarked on a journey that would forever alter my perspective. Stepping into a slum for the first time, I braced myself for scenes of abject poverty, perhaps even despair\u2014only to be met with something entirely unexpected. Amidst the challenges, I found hope, joy, and a sense of community that defied the odds. It was a revelation, one that continues to send shivers down my spine every time I recount that initial encounter.<\/h4> <\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-2\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row-full-width vc_clearfix\"><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div style=\"background-color:;height: 100px\" class=\"nicdark_section  \"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div data-vc-full-width=\"true\" data-vc-full-width-init=\"false\" data-vc-stretch-content=\"true\" class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-6\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_inner vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-2\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-8\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"vc_empty_space\"   style=\"height: 20px\"><span class=\"vc_empty_space_inner\"><\/span><\/div><h2 style=\"font-size: 30px;line-height: 1.5;text-align: left;font-family:Annie Use Your Telescope;font-weight:400;font-style:normal\" class=\"vc_custom_heading\" >Volunteering in the kenyan slums<\/h2><div class=\"vc_empty_space\"   style=\"height: 20px\"><span class=\"vc_empty_space_inner\"><\/span><\/div> <h4 style=\"color:;padding:px;text-align:;font-size:15px;line-height:28px;letter-spacing: px;font-weight:lighter\" class=\"   nd_options_second_font \">That day in the slum left an indelible mark on my soul. After months of traversing Africa's diverse landscapes, I made the conscious decision to return to Kenya, this time as a volunteer in Nairobi's sprawling slums. Welcomed with open arms, I felt a sense of belonging that resonated deep within me. My mission? To educate children who had been denied access to formal schooling\u2014no small feat for someone who had never envisioned herself as a teacher.<\/h4> <div class=\"vc_empty_space\"   style=\"height: 20px\"><span class=\"vc_empty_space_inner\"><\/span><\/div> <h4 style=\"color:;padding:px;text-align:;font-size:15px;line-height:28px;letter-spacing: px;font-weight:lighter\" class=\"   nd_options_second_font \">Picture this: a makeshift classroom where language barriers threatened to derail our efforts. I didn't speak Swahili, and the children had yet to master English. It was, in essence, a cacophony of voices, a dance of cultural exchange where understanding transcended words.

Providing meals was a temporary solution, but what about their long-term future? How could we ensure that these children, these bright sparks of potential, were not lost to the streets?

I was born in the in the Soweto Slums in Nairobi, Kenya. I got raised by my mom and received a certificate on community development from the Kenya College of Accountancy (KCA) in 2015. I started to work as a sales person at farmers choice Ltd in 2016 and at the same time I was volunteering at the Soweto Youth Initiative in Kahawa Soweto Slum, where I got mentored when I was a young boy.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>My vision is to give back to the community and to help and to support the kids. Because of that I resigned later in November 2019 at farmers choice Ltd and started to volunteer full time at the Initiative. I am the one in charge of all the projects at the Initiative. My goal is too make sure that every child at the organization enjoys their childhood and gets a good life and a successful future.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m the right hand for Lea. My work is it to connect her with the children and later on bring them to school and support the families here in the Slum.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div data-vc-parallax=\"1.5\" class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid vc_custom_1587129129568 vc_row-has-fill vc_general vc_parallax vc_parallax-content-moving\"><div class=\"nd_options_text_align_center wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"nd_options_section nd_options_text_align_center\">\n\t<a style=\"border: px solid;border-radius:30px;letter-spacing:1,5px;line-height:17px;font-size:17px;background-color:#ef884c;padding:15px 25px;margin:;color:#ffffff\" rel=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/under-leas-trust.org\/under-leas-international\/\" class=\"nicdark_display_inline_block  nd_options_font_weight_lighter nd_options_first_font  \">MORE ABOUT UNDER LEAS INTERNATIONAL<\/a>\n\t<\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color:;height: 70px\" class=\"nicdark_section  \"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div data-vc-full-width=\"true\" data-vc-full-width-init=\"false\" data-vc-parallax=\"1.5\" data-vc-parallax-image=\"\" class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid nd_options_vc_parallax_filter_2_2 vc_custom_1709124964721 vc_row-has-fill vc_general vc_parallax vc_parallax-content-moving\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"> <h1 style=\"color:#ffffff;padding:px;text-align:center;font-size:50px;line-height:50px;letter-spacing: 1,5px;font-weight:lighter\" class=\"    \">BECOME A PART OF OUR TEAM<\/h1> <div class=\"vc_empty_space\"   style=\"height: 32px\"><span class=\"vc_empty_space_inner\"><\/span><\/div> <h1 style=\"color:#ffffff;padding:px;text-align:center;font-size:20px;line-height:40px;letter-spacing: 2px;font-weight:\" class=\"    \">Help us to enlarge the project to enable more children to go to school.<\/h1> <div class=\"vc_empty_space\"   style=\"height: 32px\"><span class=\"vc_empty_space_inner\"><\/span><\/div>\n\t<div class=\"nd_options_section nd_options_text_align_center\">\n\t<a style=\"border: px solid;border-radius:30px;letter-spacing:1,5px;line-height:17px;font-size:17px;background-color:#ef884c;padding:15px 25px;margin:;color:#ffffff\" rel=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/under-leas-trust.org\/partner\/\" class=\"nicdark_display_inline_block  nd_options_font_weight_lighter nd_options_first_font  \">BECOME A PART OF THE CHANGE<\/a>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row-full-width vc_clearfix\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"History of origin From a Dream to a Movement Hi, I'm Lea, a 29-year-old adventurer with a heart captivated by Africa's charm.
