Why did I volunteer with PACE? (Olivia's story)

My interest in volunteering with PACE is based on a real life experience. I once schooled in a public school in my area. We were so many students in a class(about sixty or so) and the teachers were not able to give us the attention we required. Some teachers would not attend school, probably because they felt overworked or they were not in school and so we would go a week without learning.
My parents managed to transfer me to a private school, but about the other fifty plus students...what happened to them? Everyday I ask myself what value I have added to society and if life is worth living without bringing joy to another soul. Today, education is very important: to live a good life, one has to be educated.
Every child in Kenya should acquire quality education. Sometimes, this does not happen. Some are more disadvantaged than others. I believe that by offering voluntary services, I will make a big difference in a child's life. This will give him/her the hope and courage to face whatever is ahead of him in life without feeling less of a person than someone else. This is why I'm interested in participating in the PACE Volunteer Program.- Olivia, Volunteer( Season 1)
