My experience in South Africa has been unforgettable. It was hard in the beginning  but it became easy to warm up to the people of this country. I'ts something I'll carry with me for the rest of my life.

Ashley joins All Out Africa with over 4 years experience in community development work. Having completed her studies in Psychology and Sociology, she has swapped the sunshine of California for the stunning beauty of Cape Town, as the Volunteer Projects Coordinator there. Ashley loves South Africa for its diversity, perseverance, and continual sense of hope, recognising that despite the divisions and hardships of the past, a spirit dwells that if properly embraced will bring positive change and a very bright future to this amazing country.

The fifth edition of the Bushfire Arts Festival (www.bushfire.co.sz) is fast approaching and once again All Out Africa will be very involved with the excitement and action.
