Volunteer Reflections: Michael
I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to have volunteered with DMI this summer. I can't imagine missing out on such a remarkable experience and I eagerly anticipate the chance to return next, next, next and next summers to come. This experience has significantly impacted my perspective on music education, conservation education especially about the Mpingo tree (I miss pruning), rejuvenating my passion for teaching music to children. My favourite memory is the final concert, where the students performed some songs and delivered what we'd been teaching them and this (teaching music) is all that I love most about volunteering with DMI (not forgetting the field trips though). I am so committed to continuing this journey for the rest of my life and I am immensely grateful to everyone at DMI for making this experience possible. I look forward to reuniting with the team soon. Karibu sana Tanzania.
