Undergraduate / Activity since secondary school [5]

Please help me with this essay,Its to be submitted tonight.Thank you!!

One of the most fulfilling experiences I ever had is working with the refugees. This particular experience has shaped me into the person I am today. It also gave me an opportunity to discover myself, for example, I always had a feeling of empathy towards the refugees, a trait I never thought I possessed.

Shortly after I completed High school, I went to work for Goal Kenya as an interpreter. Since I was born and brought up near the Ethiopian border, I managed to speak four languages, of which two are Ethiopian languages. As a result I was able to interpret

For Ethiopian refugees who don't speak English.

A few months later, I went to work as a volunteer for GTZ Urban Refugee Assistance Programme which is based in Nairob, Kenya. Initially, my main activity was to interpret, but after an intensive Community Health Training at AMREF International training centre, sponsored by GTZ, I indulged in various community activities. I mainly took part in distribution of food and non food items, I assisted in preparing notes for reproductive health session with refugee women and Networking and Collaboration with other organizations.

Apart from the experiences I gained, I also grew intellectually. I frequently attended seminars and workshops which equipped me with knowledge and allowed me to interact with people from different parts of the world. For example, the 'Engaging Men as Partners in Reproductive Health' workshop which focused on how to engage men in eradication of sexual and gender based violence was quite enriching.
