Humbled and Inspired: My Time with IMA in Kenya

Grace Munoz
Stockton University

This trip was truly life changing and inspiring, I am very thankful for all of the staff for their amazing support through the process. I loved everything, the food and culture were beyond amazing. I want to give a shout out to my bestie Janet, she accompanied me through my weekend treks. I had a blast with her and I’m so glad she’s the one that went with me. I never felt unsafe during my time in Kenya and for that I am so appreciative. I think one of the most positive experiences I made on this trip were the friendships I made but also the community outreach events we had. There was nothing more eye opening than going to underprivileged communities and providing the extra support that they desperately needed which is proper healthcare. I am so blessed to have been able to experience something like this with such a well rounded program. Thank you!!
