Malusi Mwongeli
Ghana, 7 weeks.
My experience in Ghana was unlike anything I've ever done in my life. I learnt so much about myself, about my society and about culture as well. It became a period where I fully understood what AIESEC is and the essence of it all.
Ghana was a blast. It was so different; the food (especially), the language, the mannerisms, the weather, the transport system, the education system. Almost everything was out of my comfort zone.
I'd advise anyone who wants to go on exchange to do it NOW.
Hayat Shariff
Rwanda, 8 weeks.
Going on exchange to Rwanda was one of the most amazing experiences. I learnt how to work in a team of different cultures and different characters. Where basically you gain something from each other's cultures. Even the basics of things like a simpler way to peel off the outer skin of garlic. The whole intercultural experience was amazing.
I went to promote ICT among the youth in Rwanda. Them telling us about their country and culture and taking interest to know more about Kenya and the other countries represented was really nice. It was so fulfilling knowing that I had impacted someones life.
On top of that.. touring the country was epic! Meeting new people everyday and going to new places. It was amazing!
And like in any real situation, Things happen and therefore Crisis management is something else I gained from the experience. It was an eye opening experience and definitely life changing.
