Sophie and I had been dreaming of a project like this for years. So I left without any specific expectations, but with a deep desire, on a human level, to give everything I could to this wonderful adventure.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From the moment I arrived, the atmosphere moved me deeply. People often say that humanitarian projects bring together the most humane people, and I was able to see that with my own eyes. The Saint Joseph sisterhood welcomed us with disarming kindness and generosity. Their looks, their attentiveness, their warmth\u2026 everything was there to make us feel \u201cat home,\u201d despite being thousands of kilometers away from home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And if the community was already so moving, what can I say about the children we were there to care for? Their smiles, their joy, their tenderness, their incredible generosity\u2014whether shown through their gestures, the cookies they shared with us, or simply their presence\u2014touched me deeply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I arrived, I thought we were there to teach them something and pass something on to them. But from the very first day, I understood that they would teach us the most: simplicity, authenticity, joy, perspective, patience, resilience\u2026 and above all, faith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether within the sisterhood, with the children, or during our home visits in the slums, the strength of faith was present everywhere. It was moving to see how it could be a source of hope and resilience, a pillar of support for facing the difficulties of everyday life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I would recommend this experience to anyone who wants to live through something profoundly human. But you do need to leave with the right mindset: come to learn, not to save. There you are welcomed like a king, and you leave with a heart full of energy and light that you can then share with those around you.<br><em><strong>Margaux de Foy<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Een maand in Kenia doorbrengen in het kader van het AMKA-project was \u00e9\u00e9n van de meest verrijkende ervaringen van mijn leven.
