The main experience that made a significant contribution to my personal development and further shaped my career goals was my trip to Africa in 2005. As a volunteer with the Kenya Voluntary Development Association (KVDA), I assisted in a program of Peace Building and Conflict Transformation with the Maasai and Kuria tribes. I then traveled to various villages in Kenya & Tanzania interacting with the locals, and engaging with the people. Other than severe poverty, I realized the lack of education among children and adults dealing with sanitation and prevention of disease by maintenance of sanitary conditions.
