Cairo's story 💙
Cairo, a student from Vancouver, runs her own swim school. She volunteered for two weeks in Bali with SwimTayka. To fund the trip, Cairo completed a 1.5km sponsored lake
swim.
Cairo was inspired to volunteer by her desire to travel the world, meet new people, and help children, drawing on her background as a competitive swimmer and her experience working with children.
During her time in Bali, she had several moving experiences.
She taught a girl who had survived three near-drowning incidents, and was so impressed by
the girl’s courage at getting back in the water. She also successfully helped a boy with special needs get comfortable and enter the water, which thrilled his parents.
