My Daraja Internship by Allison

Allison

Daraja completely changed my life! Why? Because it was the one and only time in my life that I was completely surrounded by people who loved me for who God made me to be. I was loved more if I didn’t put up walls and pretend to be something I wasn’t – something that is NOT true of the society we live in today. These kids love unconditionally and are a true reflection of the love our Father in heaven has for us. Daraja also helped me to realize my own insecurities and has helped me to embrace the things that I once saw as imperfections. The children brought irreplaceable joy to my life and taught me how to love with my whole heart and be slower to judge based on outside appearances. Working with Daraja taught me how to be a parent, a friend, a counselor, a chaperone, an administrative assistant, a coffee drinker, a free spirit, how to worship, how to dance, how to forgive, and how to love. If you want to change your life and never be the same again – this experience is for you!

In 2021, Chris reached out just to have a conversation. Over a few breakfasts, Chris and I discussed our shared passion for changing the way the West church engages the poor. At the time, Chris was working for another non-profit organization, but it quickly became clear that we both sought to create a lasting, meaningful impact on the lives of the poor.
