To immerse ourselves in each other's cultures, Hilda taught me how to wrap a head tie according to Kenyan customs and traditions, and shared insights into her specific culinary, cultural and linguistic heritage.

‘The sessions were extremely practical. We created templates to help me stay organized, which I really appreciate and use everyday. I learnt how to write a professional CV, plan content, set goals and eventually, through continuous guidance, I made my own branding playbook. An achievement I’m especially proud of,’ says Hilda.

The things I've gained far outweigh all the effort put into this volunteering program. I've learned to listen more, to take on new challenges, to contribute by helping someone who really needs it and, ultimately, made a dear friend.
