Hey, I'm Hannah and I'm super stoked for my second summer at camp. I grew up in Malawi and Mozambique, but currently live in South Africa. When I'm not taking photos, I am at the sewing machine, on a hike or volunteering as a Disaster Responder. At the moment, I am studying photojournalism and hope to use it while working in refugee camps and disaster situations around the world.

What are you most proud of/biggest achievement in life so far?:

It is not my biggest achievement in life, but I have had the privilege of connecting with communities and individuals of impoverished backgrounds and supporting them with aid and donations through various organisations. I have met the most incredible people who have taught me so much about gratitude.
What is your favorite hobby/sport/thing to do during your free time?:

I have loads of hobbies but my all time favourite (aside from photography) is hiking; even better if there's a waterfall or swim spot along the way!
What is your favorite thing about working with children?:

Kids generally have a ton of energy (like me) and get excited about even the smallest things. They really help you remember that life is about so much more than just work; it's supposed to be filled with fun and adventure!
What impact are you most excited to make this year at CCB?:

I hope to be someone the kids can go to for advice, consolation, a hive five but especially for a game of soccer or Gaga Ball.
What goal or camp philosophy do you really want your campers to learn this summer?:

The boys are taught to "appreciate the simplicity of life, value of human relations and the wonders of nature" and in a device-free environment, surrounded by counsellors from diverse backgrounds, spending most of their day outdoors, they are able to do just that. These values aren't often prioritised in school or at home so it is so important that they make the most of their time at CCB; I certainly did!
