Attached, you’ll find an information letter where you can read more about life as a volunteer here. It would be helpful if each of you could write to me individually. Sometimes friends or couples come to volunteer together, which is possible, but we encourage each person to also live their own personal experience. I read that you have already had a volunteer experience in the United States. Have you also had other experiences with Christian life, or with silence? Silence is an important part of our life here. Organizing the tasks is a bit like a puzzle, and the work you’ll do (refectory, kitchen, cleaning, guest houses, garden, etc.) depends on several factors and the current needs of the community. Would you be open to this kind of flexibility? You’ll also see in the information letter that we ask volunteers to stay for at least three to four weeks. Would that be possible for you? I am not quite sure about visa regulations from China right now, but we would have to ask you to take all this in hand (if needed, we can write a letter of invitation) And please don’t hesitate to ask if you have any questions! Looking forward to hearing from you, Dear Sr. S, Thank you for your detailed information, and I apologize for my late reply. This is X. I discussed it with T during the holiday. It's not because she doesn't want to write to you personally; actually, it's because her English is not very good. But it's okay! She can try to find something else in Asia. I travel during school holidays and have stayed in different monasteries, such as M, since spiritual life is important to me. The Sister asked me to tutor a boy in some basic English with his textbook. It was the first time that I heard the sound of a zither; I was profoundly moved by the voice of God. So I always pay attention to monasteries. I don't compare myself

3 Reasons Why Learning Swahili Should Be on Your Bucket List in 2025 Swahili, or Kiswahili, is more than just a language, it's a gateway to experiencing the rich culture, hospitality, and vibrant spirit of East Africa. Spoken by over 200 million people across Kenya, Tanzania, DRC Congo, Rwanda, and beyond, learning Swahili can open doors to deeper connections, rewarding travel experiences. 1. Unlock East Africa's Rich Culture – Utamaduni wa Ajabu Swahili is deeply intertwined with East African culture, or utamaduni. Speaking the language allows you to truly engage with local traditions, music, and art forms. You'll better appreciate cultural festivals such as Sauti za Busara in Zanzibar and enjoy the storytelling behind Swahili proverbs like "Haraka haraka haina baraka" (Haste makes waste). 2. Enjoy Discounted Prices Like a Local – Bei Nafuu One of the biggest perks of speaking Swahili is getting bei nafuu (affordable prices) in markets, restaurants, and transport. Instead of being charged tourist rates, knowing phrases like "Jambo, hii ni pesa ngapi?" (Hello, how much is this?) will make seller believe you know the local prices. Vendors are often friendlier and more willing to negotiate with those who speak their language. 3. Enhance Your Travel Experiences – Safari ya Ajabu Exploring East Africa becomes more exciting and stress-free when you can communicate in Swahili. Whether you need to ask for directions with "Ninawezaje kufika?" (How do I get there?) or order food by saying "Ningependa chakula cha kienyeji" (I’d like local food), your travel experiences will feel more authentic and enjoyable. Whether you're traveling, working, or making new friends, speaking Swahili will enrich your interactions and deepen your connection to East Africa. Karibu (Welcome) to the world of Swahili—your adventure starts here!
