At the Home of Joy, the children are on school vacation and they enjoy this special time to the full. Without the school routine, there is plenty of room for creative activities: whether painting colorful pictures, dancing, playing or simply laughing and having fun - the children use every minute to enjoy their vacations to the full. It is a time of light-heartedness in which they can simply be children.
My time at the "Home of Joy" children's home in Uganda was a formative and enriching experience. During my stay, I was not only able to make a direct contribution to the children's everyday lives, but also gain valuable insights into a different culture and way of life.
I helped look after the children, assisted with everyday tasks and organized playful and creative activities. I was particularly impressed by the warmth and joie de vivre of the children and the commitment of the staff. On site, I experienced a caring and supportive environment in which solidarity and mutual appreciation were tangible.
This experience broadened my view of the world and showed me how important interpersonal commitment is. I am very grateful for my time at the "Home of Joy" - it made me grow personally and I will always remember it.
