[In the Field] Key Club's Day 2 in Swaziland

Four Key Club Ambassadors to UNICEF are visiting projects in Swaziland and blogging about their experience. Below is their third post. The photo below is of a child they met at a UNICEF-supported neighborhood care point where children come everyday for food, health services, and some basic education.

Today was our first day of site visits in Swaziland. We had learned a lot in advance about what we were going to see, but even so, we weren't sure how it would affect us. And sure enough, we all came away impacted, but in the complete opposite way than we imagined. Seeing UNICEF programs that support children was very inspiring and made us realize that children are happy no matter where they live; the attitude is the same as children we see every day. However, it is the influence of a positive program that truly makes a difference in their lives.

The day was amazing and made us feel that what we are doing is making a difference.
