“Africa, I came to change you, but instead you changed me.”
— “Africa” by the Paul Coleman Trio
The quote from the song “Africa” perfectly defines my experience there. Spending nearly two months as a volunteer in South Africa and Namibia changed who I am indefinitely. Although I experienced extreme desperation regarding poverty, starvation and overall sickness, I equally witnessed African pride, happiness and hope for a better future.
