When I do good, I feel good

03 May, 2019

My name is Linnet Atieno Odera, I love Girl Guiding . My journey as a guide started in June 2015 after being advised by a confidante friend of mine. My parents’ separation and AGR made me have a clear vision, backed by definite plans and tremendous feeling of confidence and personal power.

During my first year in university, my classmate introduced me to an exchange program known as Youth Exchange South to South (YESS). I was eager to know more about it, I applied, and surprisingly I have been called for an interview. The interview was somehow challenging as was my first time to attend an interview. Thanks God! I managed to be among the four girls who were to represent Kenya for the exchange.

On 16th January 2019, I had a mixture of feelings. I was happy of flying in the plane to another country and sad for leaving my loved ones behind. But all in all, it is true to say that growth can be a detoxifying process in which things will need to come up, out and looked at before they are released.  So I decided to forget about everything and focus on my main mission of transforming the lives of others.
Our first stop was in Uganda where all the 45 girls from different countries were hosted at a superior hotel called Munyonyo resort.  It was a great experience meeting with girls and young women from different races.  It was really nice and we learned a lot from there. We were told that in whichever country we were heading to, everything will not be right nor wrong but just different and I liked that.
